Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The catalyst of this story is a little girl named Jamie (Kaleigh Krish), who is trapped in a deep well. In his efforts to rescue the child, a man named Dewey (David Graf) has himself been killed. Performing the autopsy on Dewey, is Dr. Ivan Kroneberger, a cynical, embittered man with no faith in either God or humanity. Monica (Roma Downey) and Tess (Della Reese) encourage Kroneberger to "read" Dewey's body for clues as to how the dead man lived, and why he was willing to give up his life for another person--a most unusual anatomy lesson that may well prove to be the redemption of the doctor, and the salvation of the still-entombed Jamie!
