赛斯是一位天使,凡人看不到天使,只有将死的人才能看到他们。而天使的任务就是带走他们的灵魂。一天,赛斯出现在洛杉矶一家医院的手术间,医生正在极力抢救病人,但最终赛斯还是带走了他。手术期间,赛斯感受到了主刀女医生玛姬的注视,那目光里的坚定和执着深深震撼了赛斯,他已经被玛姬吸引住了。玛姬因为手术失败而无比自责,感到绝望无力。这期间赛斯一直默默地陪在玛姬身边,尽管玛姬感受不到他的存在。
赛斯爱上了玛姬,这个美丽善良而自信的女医生。他多么希望玛姬能注意到他,多么希望能够碰触玛姬(天使是没有触觉的),并走进她的生活。凡人看不见天使,除非天使自愿现身。所以赛斯冒险在玛姬面前现身了。玛姬只见了赛斯一面,就再也忘不了了。她被赛斯英俊的外表和忧郁迷人的气质吸引。
Have you ever been seen, Cassiel?
You're looking at me.
No, not by me, and not by the dying or the delirious.
Have you ever been seen... like you were a man?
In a diner once, a blind woman turned to me all of a sudden...
...and asked me to pass her the mustard.
But she was blind. - But she knew I was there.
That doctor in the operating room...
...she looked right at me.
She didn't see you, Seth. She can't see you.
No one can see you unless you want them to.
And if I want her to?
Why do you want her to?
To help her.
Open it!
Open it now!
Everybody down!
Do it! Do it!
Shit! Just give him the money.
Did I leave the lights on? I left the lights on.
I should have gone to Ralphs.
- Do it! - Relax. I'm doing it, okay?
I never saw the Grand Canyon.
I'll never see my grandkids again.
What am I doing?
Just be cool. Be cool.
Be cool, man.
Be cool.
Holy shit!
They don't need to see us.
