Eli Stone finds his life at a crossroads and soon learns that he suffering from an inoperable brain aneurysm that's causing his hallucinations. Struggling to cope with the news, Eli begins to have visions that he is a prophet and decides to use his new found abilites for good.
After a pilgrimage to the Himalayas to scatter his dad's ashes and two weeks without visions, Eli has returned to work reinvigorated. Maggie, a first-year associate at W.P.K., suggests he take the case of a married couple from Mexico -- farmhands seeking compensation against a large produce manufacturer whose pesticide made the wife and her co-workers infertile. Eli resists taking the case until a singing boys' choir and a biplane his visions, returned persuade him otherwise. Unfortunately, his clients are keeping two secrets from him, challenging both their marriage and their American citizenship.
