故事发生於20世纪80年代中期的纽约，《千禧年降临》的第一幕介绍了中心人物路易·爱恩森（Louis Ironson）。他是一名犹太人，与同性恋爱人普莱尔·沃尔特（Prior Walter）住在一起。但普莱尔後来发现自己患有艾滋病，社会在当时对此病仍然知之甚少，路易无法承受住巨大的压力便抛弃了对方搬了出去。与此同时，在城市中另一方，也有一位名为乔·皮特（Joe Pitt）的共和党律师。他是一位摩门教徒，同时也在尽力压制自己的同性恋倾向。剧中，臭名昭著的麦卡锡主义者罗依·康（Roy Cohn）为他提供了一份十分有前途的工作，而乔并没有立刻接受，因为他担心自己服用安定上瘾的妻子哈珀（Harper）。
随着剧情发展，普莱尔发现经常有鬼魂和天使来拜访他，还被这些人称为先知；乔在自己的宗教信仰和性取向的矛盾中痛苦挣扎；路易十分後悔抛弃了爱人，时刻受到良心的折磨；乔的妈妈汉娜（Hannah）得知儿子是同性恋後搬到纽约，要照顾儿媳；而罗依·康本人也是一位同志，因为艾滋病住进了医院，负责护理他的护士是一位名为伯利兹（Belize）的黑人同志，他是普莱尔的好友，原来从事过女装表演；最后，原来冷战时期因为罗依·康的幕後操纵而被美国司法处以极刑的共产党人艾瑟尔·罗森堡（Ethel Rosenberg）也化为鬼魂来報復他。
全剧充满了黑色幽默与悲剧色彩，对白极为出色，在一些需要特殊效果衬托的地方展现出很浓的戏剧风格。大多数演员都一人分饰几角，比如扮演普莱尔的护士的演员，也同时扮演美国天使。剧中对圣经和美国政治、经济、文化、种族、环境现象有非常多的引用，也有发生在南极和天堂的戏份，也涉及了旧金山的大地震与纽约中央公园中的毕士大（Bethesda）天使像。
很多观众与评论家都认为此剧是美国近年来最有影响力的戏剧之一。
