The story follows Immaculata, a shy Italian-born check-out attendant who starts hearing the voice of God from her till and she begins performing miracles. God is female and Italian, something Immaculata's local priest doesn't appreciate. The owner of the supermarket, a shady character with a criminal record, starts to exploit Immaculata's 'miracles'. Soon she is arrested for fraud.
This play is a contemporary saintly rites-of-passage comedy set in the working class suburb of Port Adelaide.
