賽斯是一位天使,凡人看不到天使,只有將死的人才能看到他們。而天使的任務就是帶走他們的靈魂。一天,賽斯出現在洛杉磯一家醫院的手術間,醫生正在極力搶救病人,但最終賽斯還是帶走了他。手術期間,賽斯感受到了主刀女醫生瑪姬的注視,那目光里的堅定和執著深深震撼了賽斯,他已經被瑪姬吸引住了。瑪姬因為手術失敗而無比自責,感到絕望無力。這期間賽斯一直默默地陪在瑪姬身邊,盡管瑪姬感受不到他的存在。
賽斯愛上了瑪姬,這個美麗善良而自信的女醫生。他多么希望瑪姬能注意到他,多么希望能夠碰觸瑪姬(天使是沒有觸覺的),并走進她的生活。凡人看不見天使,除非天使自愿現身。所以賽斯冒險在瑪姬面前現身了。瑪姬只見了賽斯一面,就再也忘不了了。她被賽斯英俊的外表和憂郁迷人的氣質吸引。
Have you ever been seen, Cassiel?
You're looking at me.
No, not by me, and not by the dying or the delirious.
Have you ever been seen... like you were a man?
In a diner once, a blind woman turned to me all of a sudden...
...and asked me to pass her the mustard.
But she was blind. - But she knew I was there.
That doctor in the operating room...
...she looked right at me.
She didn't see you, Seth. She can't see you.
No one can see you unless you want them to.
And if I want her to?
Why do you want her to?
To help her.
Open it!
Open it now!
Everybody down!
Do it! Do it!
Shit! Just give him the money.
Did I leave the lights on? I left the lights on.
I should have gone to Ralphs.
- Do it! - Relax. I'm doing it, okay?
I never saw the Grand Canyon.
I'll never see my grandkids again.
What am I doing?
Just be cool. Be cool.
Be cool, man.
Be cool.
Holy shit!
They don't need to see us.
