Beth Harper, an absentee wife and mother who suffers a dramatic near-death experience and is revived only to discover that she now receives messages from God. As she warms up to her powers and begins dispensing advice that is astonishingly accurate, her husband Tom is skeptical and their teenage daughter Emily is horrified. Complicating matters even more, Tom's mistress Carly shows up to confront Beth about the affair and quickly gets a shocking surprise.

Beth tries to make amends with friends she offended in the past; Tom must adjust to his wife's new ability to communicate with God.

When Beth learns that the hospital where Emily was born is being shut down, she decides she must try to raise funds to save it. Unfortunately for her, her friends are busy, distracted or not at all interested. Beth's overzealousness soon becomes a big problem, but when she receives a divine visit from the Almighty herself, she realizes that she really can make a difference without making everyone do things her way.
