COME AGAIN:

The Return of Jesus Christ

RAY CASS is out of options. His teenage daughter, MELISSA, is dying of leukemia. A lapsed Catholic and advertising legend, he turns to a God he has cursed and dismissed since his wife's death under the wheels of a hit-and-run driver five years earlier. Humbled and penitent, Ray promises to do whatever the Almighty demands in return for his daughter's life. When God answers his prayer, miraculously curing the girl, Ray must keep his word. God's request? Promote the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Ray owns a small, highly successful ad agency, which is being courted by several larger advertising groups. He decides to sell. Once the money changes hands, he resigns, accompanied only by GINA SPIZZO, his personal assistant.

Jesus reveals Himself to be both timeless and contemporary, sporting close-cropped hair and a three-day stubble. He provides inspiration and context to Ray, the contemporary wordsmith, who now can join the likes of Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul as writers who set down the word of God.

Christ offers insight on various miracles - the changing of water to wine at Cana, the feeding of the 5,000 with a few loaves of bread and a handful of fish, to name just two - His horrific crucifixion and triumphant resurrection.

Ray is in for a rough, tumultuous ride, as he creates the most important marketing campaign in history. Struggling to recapture his moribund faith, Ray faces the life-threatening encounters that being God's messenger has always involved, dealing with the ranks of radical televangelists, The Anti-Christ, demonstrators and skeptical clergy.

He is also faced with a confrontational father-in-law, JACK CONNOR, who blames Ray for the death of his daughter, Ray's wife, Jamie. Ray runs into problems with FR. TED CAVANAUGH and CARDINAL GONZAGA of the Chicago Archdiocese as well.

Help comes in the form of Gina Spizzo's brother, JOEY, who inherited the "Family Business" when associates killed his father and brother. Joey's gratitude for Ray's taking care of his sister and involving her in this adventure is manifested by keeping Ray out of the clutches of the Anti-Christ.

An unexpected ally comes in the person of Fr. SCOTT DARROW, known as the "Apostle of Uptown", a tough streetwise priest who offers his support and assistance.

Ray completes his task, but pays a steep price for failing to heed Christ's word when zealots kill Gina and Ray tells Joey who did it. Jesus shows His wrath, demonstrators torch Ray's home and Jack Connor dies, leaving a substantial fortune to Melissa. The Anti-Christ marks both Ray and his daughter for death. Several attempts are made on their lives.

As the time for the Second Coming nears, Ray finally comes to understand the true meaning of the phrase, "God helps those who help themselves."
