After choking on a hero sandwich in her kitchen and suffering a dramatic near-death experience, Beth Harper – an absentee wife and mother – is revived and claims she can now talk to God. Her teenage daughter, Emily, is horrified and her husband, Tom, is skeptical. To make matters worse, Tom’s ex-mistress, Carly McKenna, is in a coma after a close encounter with lightning in the Harpers’ front yard.
