Gavin is on the roof of a building ready to jump and Detective Hollis is sent to the scene to persuade the young man to get off. Between the two starts a conversation that we learn why Gavin wants to commit suicide.The story begins showing us Gavin's work at a hotel and the randomness makes the wife of a neighbor's to find work at the same hotel. Together with his roommate they are invited to dinner by Joe but he makes a remark to Gavin on thought he would be gay. Joe is a Christian but Gavin is an Atheist and after a conversation between them things tend to become an argue. Shana apologize behalf of his husband and after she is invited to have lunch by Gavin repeatedly between them is born an adventure about Joe finds and wants to do right in the way he knows. Meanwhile Hollis has his own family's troubles after discovering that his wife hid a secret for many years. Now Gavin is ready to do anything for Shana to live and no one can make him change his mind.

Mixture between faith desire for revenge and sacrifice are well exposed but some will seem superfluous and do not think it was necessary this kind of subject to narrate a story even though the film catches you from the beginning and keeps you in suspense until final who could have been better and that somehow change the whole movie.
