Searching for Sal

Sal Magestro and Nate Zavoral are the best of friends, but they argue incessantly about religion and the plausibility of life after death. A staunch Catholic and the gregarious owner of a pizzeria in Madison, Wis., Sal is so convinced deceased humans can influence the lives of loved ones they've left behind that he concocts a scheme to prove once and for all the existence of a hereafter. Nate, a school teacher and unabashed agnostic, finds the idea pure folly. Nonetheless, he signs an oath that stipulates how Sal will signal Nate - or vice versa - upon his death. Several years later, Sal dies unexpectedly, and shortly after Nate and three golf buddies witness a shocking, seemingly super-natural phenomena that they agree might be Sal's signal. A modest, low-key kind of guy, Nate must decide whether to go public with his discovery - knowing full well he could become embroiled in a media frenzy - or to pretend it never happened. A lighthearted but compelling and thought-provoking tale, Searching for Sal will captivate and challenge believers and non-believers alike.
