Commandments
Seth Warner (Aidan Quinn) is having a bad year. At the beach, his wife kisses him, then goes in for a dip. When he wakes some indeterminate amount of time later, she’s gone. There was no apparent struggle, she didn’t seem to leave him, she is just gone. Not long after (it seems to be shortly thereafter, but it isn’t stated), he is told that he’s being fired, for no apparent reason.
One thing after another simply goes wrong. It’s like he’s Job, and he is being tested. He decides that it isn’t fair, and he wants an audience with the almighty, so he decides to end it all one night on a building. Neighbors call his in-laws, Rachel (Courteney Cox) and Harry (Anthony LaPaglia) to talk him down, which they do. They also take him in. But he still wants to talk to God. Face-to-face.
