Plot
Thomas Dagget, a Catholic seminary student, loses his faith after seeing visions of an angelic war. Years later, Thomas is a detective with the LAPD. Two angels fall to Earth; Simon and Uziel, a lieutenant of the Archangel Gabriel. Simon briefly enters Thomas' home and warns him of coming events. Uziel is killed in an altercation with Simon. Investigating the disturbance, Thomas finds in Simon's apartment the obituary of recently deceased Korean War veteran Colonel Arnold Hawthorne, who was under investigation for war crimes, and a thesis about angels, written by Thomas in seminary. Simon finds Hawthorne awaiting burial in Chimney Rock, Arizona, and sucks his soul out of his body.
The medical examiner informs Thomas that Uziel's body has no eyes, hermaphroditism, and the blood chemistry of an aborted fetus. His personal effects include an ancient Bible, with an expanded Book of Revelation that describes a second war in Heaven and a prophecy that a "dark soul" will be found on Earth and used as a weapon.
Gabriel arrives on Earth. Needing a human helper, Gabriel catches a disappointed Jerry, a suicide, in the moment of his death. Jerry retrieves Uziel's belongings from the police station while Gabriel destroys Uziel's body in the morgue. Finding Hawthorne's obituary, Gabriel and Jerry head for Chimney Rock. Before Gabriel arrives at the local reservation school, Simon hides Hawthorne's soul in Mary, a young Native American girl. She immediately falls ill and is cared for by her teacher, Katherine.
