Overview

From his hospital bed, a cantankerous old codger refuses to go into a risky surgery without first seeing a Catholic priest. Fed up with his obnoxious shenanigans, the attending nurse complies. Unfortunately, the only person available on such short notice is a young Presbyterian seminary student who admittedly doubts the existence of God. Time is a factor as the hour of his surgery approaches, and without absolution, the man fears that he may end up in the other place.
