Then he encounters the last unsatisfied customer. "Angel of Death": Harbingers of death come knocking at Robert Leary's door. But there's more going on than a simple mixup. "Insane": A psychologist encounters an old college friend who has abandoned his CEO paycheck to become the best-dressed streetcorner prophet ever. "Passings": Time folds in on itself in a milestone moment for a mother and son. "Preservation": A project to save humanity is misused to save the daughter of the initaitve's leader. "Passion Play": In the small town of Easter City, the annual passion play is the central event of the year. But when the play's Jesus seriously injures himself, Luke the stage manager has to struggle against an eccentric director, a shady producer, an unseasoned understudy, his own doubts, and an incredible series of play snafus to make it through opening night.
