Echoing Seth's first confrontation with God, the sky and the sea open up in this fateful encounter at the Montauk Lighthouse. In a climactic battle of will and redemption, Seth, Harry and Rachel cross paths with a raging hurricane at the far end of Long Island. Inevitably, Seth comes down to the last and most important commandment, Thou shall not kill. Things get further complicated when Rachel and Seth are romantically drawn to each other as he struggles with his crisis of faith and she struggles with a failing marriage. A natural at breaking commandments, Harry is drawn to Seth's mission in the hopes of using it to further his career, but ultimately they clash as Seth turns the table and uses Harry to fulfill some of his missions. While staying with his sister-in-law, Rachel, much to the chagrin of her shifty reporter husband, Harry, he systematically sets out to break each commandment one by one. Pushed beyond his limits, Seth decides to respond to his years of torment by breaking each of the biblical Ten Commandments. God's answer is to strike down Seth's dog in a bolt of lightning. In the midst of a wild thunderstorm he demands to know why he has been betrayed by the god he has believed in and honored his whole life. Confused and angry after two years of suffering, he finally directs his wrath at God from the rooftop of his apartment building in New York City. There seems to be nothing left for him to live for. He is despondent, his career has fallen apart, even his house has been destroyed. Ever since his wife died two years earlier, his world has been in turmoil.
