Manny Schwimmer talks to God. He talks to Him about installing an air-conditioning system in Hell, about Civil War heroes and black major-league baseball players, about using mathematics to identify the longest river in North America, about the importance of counting grains of sand. He also talks to Him about his personal accomplishments and misfortunes.

Sometimes Manny doesnt know if hes dreaming, or if God is really there. Was it a dream when he found himself in Court with men from his old infantry company, men dead these last 50 years? Did he really argue with God about whether or not he had killed someone, while God frantically checked His computer database for confirmation?

In the bizarre arena of a hospital ICU, Manny meets a woman out to avenge her mothers death, a soon-to-be murdered prostitute, a friend intent on executing Mannys last Will, an ex-wife who denies their son exists. At the same time, he fights issues of amputation, pneumonia, accessory to murder, unanswered wartime questions, self-denial, death.
