Synopsis of Touched by an Angel: A Death in the Family

In his zeal to nail a vicious drug dealer, white narcotics detective Frank McCovey (Scott Baio) accidentally shoots down an 11-year-old black kid named Jamal (J.B. Potter). Inasmuch as Frank had previously lost his own daughter in a similar racially-charged tragedy, many in the black community are persuaded that the shooting was an act of vengeance--and before long, the flames of an impending riot are being fanned by media-manipulating ghetto activist Reverend Davis (a pre-Grey's Anatomy Isaiah Washington. Who, wonders angel Monica (Roma Downey, is most in need of Heaven's assistance in this case: McCovey, Davis...or Jamal's grieving parents? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
