Twelve-year-old Lucien Blake was born without the sense of sight. While playing in his backyard near a canal, Lucien tries to save the neighbor's son when he accidentally falls into the water. Tragedy strikes when Lucien is caught in the undertow and drowns. The following morning he is reborn an angel with his sense of sight and a golden halo spinning above his head. However, the halo draws attention from the divine and wicked alike including Bork, a baby cherub who extends an offer for Lucien to attend the fabled Cherub Academy of Angels and Divine Intervention to refine his newfound abilities. At Cherub, Lucien obtains his wings and earns a sniper position on the Argonauts to play Huarache, The Game of Angels where he quickly excels to the top ranks of the angelic athletic circles. But when word spreads that Lucien possesses a powerful halo, unlike any other angel in the firmament, his world falls apart as he uncovers the secrets hidden from him about the true missions his parents once performed after the legendary war in heaven.
