With a hard-to-please boss breathing down his neck and a personal life in desperate need of relationship advice, Bernie’s chances of success are dwindling fast.

Yet, a young god named Bernie isn’t afraid, and with the help of his friends, Suzie and Lenny, they embark on a rescue so daring no god would ever consider it.
