The Weight of Heaven: The Mantle

The script follows Azrael, the Angel of Death, who is robbed of his golden mantle—the source of his power and control over souls—by Lucifer. In a twist of fate, a young man named Luke, who was meant to die in a robbery, is instead chosen to be the key to Azrael's mission. The story unfolds on three parallel tracks: Azrael’s hunt for the missing mantle, Luke’s journey through the afterlife with a mentor figure, and the emotional turmoil of Luke's family—his sisters Janet and Victoria—who are left to grapple with his apparent death. As Azrael's pursuit intensifies, he finds himself in a new conflict. The mantle is not just stolen; it's being used by Lucifer to activate the modern-day Four Horsemen: War, Famine, Death, and a newly corrupted Victoria, who embodies Conquest. Through flashbacks and Lucifer's final monologue, we learn that these women were chosen because of their traumatic pasts, which Lucifer expertly manipulated to turn them into instruments of a coming apocalypse. The climax reveals that the Four Horsemen are now fully assembled. The final scene leaves the audience with a chilling image and a symbolic sound—a trumpet blast—that signals the beginning of a new, catastrophic era, leaving the fate of humanity in question.
