While the pilot, Gabe Rogers, is killed, his passenger, preacher Corky Farris, survives to find himself confronting a crisis of faith. Paralyzed from the waist down due to a broken back, Corky struggles to stay alive until he can be rescued. One problem - because they took off a day earlier than planned, nobody yet knows to be searching for them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the next forty hours, Corky confronts the decisions in his life that led him to this spot. Has he truly followed God's will, or is this his punishment for disregarding it? Egging him on, and also challenging his faith, is the spirit (angel? ghost? hallucination?) of Gabe, the dead pilot, who guides him on this painful journey of self-discovery.
