Paul Sentes builds a cross, places it in his front yard, hangs on the cross and begins the most dramatic, inspirational, spiritual, and challenging undertaking of his life. Prompting Paul to the astounding act is his unwillingness to let anger control his life. He cries out to God for help and receives a recurring mystical vision of him on a cross. He faces a psychological abyss alone. Only his vow of silence protects him from the torments of his neighbors, visitors and the media. Paul's controversial act reverberates through his neighborhood, the church and ultimately the world. Thousands come to pray, to deposit articles on his lawn and ask for healing. Six souls twisted by anger become intimately involved with Paul, during his stay on the cross. They share their dreams and issues with him. On day 30, Paul has an epiphany and is spiritually transformed on the cross. Five of the six souls are also transformed. The other suffering soul is incapable of transformation and shoots Paul on day 40.
