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。
These things'll kill you.
Are there others? Others like you?
Yeah, they're out there.
You see them, but most of the time you just walk on by.
Nobody likes to think of the old life. You know, what they gave up.
Then why'd you do it?
My daughter, Ruth...her stupid husband, Frank...and my grandkids.
Petie's 4, Hannah's 6.
And this is my wife, Teresa.
Did you...tell her who you were?
I started to try once or twice.
Then I thought, Why do that to her?
Do what?
It's too much for them.
People don't believe in us anymore.
Do they still gather together at sunrise?
And sunset, yes.
Take me there?
Can you hear it?
No.
I can't hear that. But you can't feel this!
Nathan! You have to go back.
Not until I catch the big wave.
Wait. Wait.
Wait for what?
Swim!
