After the surgery, Billy discovers a strange message on his body that he believes is from God. Confused and afraid, Billy accepts the angel's challenge and in so doing learns the depth of his own sinfulness, which plunges him into despair.Ezriah Reynolds, a Christian and Billy's best friend, encourages Billy to join him in taking a seminary class called "Jesus in the Old Testament," and for the first time in his life, Billy seriously considers what the Bible teaches about covenant, sin, and salvation. Billy, smitten with Nurse Angeline Otl, begins pursuing her even as his surgery commences. Angeline struggles with her own past, but she and Billy draw together and become vital pieces in the other's spiritual journey.
