Synopsis
Thomas est un toxicomane de vingt-deux ans. Pour guérir de sa dépendance à l'héroïne, il rejoint une communauté d'anciens jeunes drogués qui lui proposent un changement de vie radical pour le sortir de la drogue notamment en le privant de cigarettes, d'alcool, de télévision mais aussi en l'isolant du monde extérieur et des filles. Désormais, pour redevenir un jeune homme normal, il devra se soigner par la prière et le travail. Dans ce nouveau monde, il découvre l'amour, l'amitié et la foi. Égaré en montagne, il se retrouve miraculeusement et décide de se faire ordonner prêtre. Mais, sur la route du séminaire, il décide finalement de rejoindre Sibylle, la jeune fille avec qui il a eu une brève aventure.Actors

Joe Gideon is a theater director and choreographer trying to balance work on his latest Broadway musical with editing a Hollywood film he has directed. He is a workaholic who chain-smokes cigarettes, and without a daily dose of Vivaldi, Visine, Alka-Seltzer, Dexedrine, and sex, he wouldn't have the energy to keep up the biggest "show" of all — his life. His girlfriend Katie Jagger, his ex-wife Audrey Paris, and daughter Michelle try to pull him back from the brink, but it is too late for his exhausted body and stress-ravaged heart. In his imagination, he flirts with an angel of death named Angelique.
