In Los Angeles, firefighter Sean Magee is trapped with no way out
of a three-story blaze. He hears his
nephew Colm’s voice encouraging him to go back because there is always a
way. Praying to God for the first time
in years, Sean promises to return as a better person if saved. An angel escorts him to a third story
window. Reluctantly he performs a leap
of faith. Surviving but with his back
and legs busted up, Sean awakens weeks later in a hospital. As he slowly recovers, Sean knows he will
never work a fire again.
From his L.A. hospital bed, he calls New York to talk to his
friend Dr. Gaspar Basu who married Sean’s sister Cathleen when they teamed up to save Colm, and have had two
babies with a third on the way since. Gaspar
rushes to Los Angeles where Sean shows him his list of those he hurt to include
God, mom, Cathleen and Gaspar crossed out, and Colm and Chiara with no line
through them. Sean plans to fulfill his
pledge to God by fixing what he broke and left broken. Physical therapist Tom Smith helps Sean
recover so that the patient can go to Florence, Italy to atone for what he did
to Chiara Montanari.
This is an entertaining inspirational drama starring a broken man physically
and spiritually who struggles to regain his faith, his family and his forever
love although he does not believe he deserves God, Cathleen (and Colm) or
Chiara’s forgiveness. Even though the
storyline turns too mushy, fans will feel inspired by Mary Curran Hackett’s pleasant Proof of Angels (and … Heaven) redemption tale.
