\nUriel the angel and Little Ash (short for Ashmedai) are the only two supernatural creatures i n their shtetl (which is so tiny\, it doesn't have a name other than Shtet l). The angel and the demon have been studying together for centuries\, bu t pogroms and the search for a new life have drawn all the young people fr om their village to America. When one of those young emigrants goes missin g\, Uriel and Little Ash set off to find her. Along the way the angel and demon encounter humans in need of their help\, including Rose Cohen\, whos e best friend (and the love of her life) has abandoned her to marry a man\ , and Malke Shulman\, whose father died mysteriously on his way to America . But there are obstacles ahead of them as difficult as what they&rsquo\;v e left behind. Medical exams (and demons) at Ellis Island. Corrupt officia ls\, cruel mob bosses\, murderers\, poverty. The streets are far from pave d with gold. With cinematic sweep and tender observation\, Sacha Lamb pres ents a totally original drama about individual purpose\, the fluid nature of identity\, and the power of love to change and endure.
