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。
Hi, Anne.
What are you doing here?
I was on my way up to x-ray...and I thought I'd stop in and just...hide.
From what?
I should've gone into pediatrics.
Oh, no.
Every guy you meet is either married or a gyno.
Never date a man who knows more about your vagina than you do.
Poor little guy.
He never stops crying.
What's wrong with him? No insurance.
Found him in a dumpster behind the House of Pies.
We worked him up the wazoo for everything...
...from drug exposure to diabetes. We got nothing.
May I?
Did you do an ultrasound?
You hear a murmur? Worth a shot.
Okay, baby.
So what are you hiding from?
My patient's wife.
She wants me to tell her that her husband is going to be okay...
...and that I have every confidence...
...and I don't.
And after all this time, and after all this work...
...I suddenly have this feeling that...
...none of this is in my hands. Nothing.
And if it isn't...
...what do I do with that?
