The Second Coming is the story of depressed and middle-aged Will Barrett, a man lost in the labyrinth of his own memories. Doubting God's existence and haunted by the shadow of his father's suicide, will retreats from society and begins overdosing on drugs in an effort to force God to reveal Himself or else prove His non-existence by failure to intervene. Will is saved by a young escaped mental patient, Allison, and the two care for each other and find temporary redemption.
