Three years ago, James Mackey
defused a tense hostage situation by shooting the gunman who had fatally wounded
James' partner. Now Monica is a journalist writing a story about the
small-town sheriff and local hero. Although a loving father, Mackey
places intense pressure on his son, Matthew so he can gain admission to the U.S.
Naval Academy. Rather than risk not doing well, the boy cheats on a
college entrance exam but gets caught. Afraid of how his father will
react, Matt attempts suicide. While he is in a coma, Monica uses her
angelic powers to talk to him and convince him to live. She later helps
Sheriff Mackey resolve his own inner torment: his late partner, Nick
Hanson, was the true hero in that hostage situation. Mackey had frozen
when they confronted the criminals, and Nick saved his life. Monica
convinces Mackey that God loves him regardless and is able to reunite father and
son.
