The mysterious envelope arrives on Nick Cominsky's desk amidst a stack of credit-card applications and business-related junk mail. Although his seventy-hour workweek has already eaten into his limited family time, Nick can't pass up the opportunity to see what kind of plot his colleagues have hatched.
The normally confident, cynical Nick soon finds himself thrown off balance, drawn into an intriguing conversation with a baffling man who comfortably discusses everything from the world religions to the existence of heaven and hell. And this man who calls himself Jesus also seems to know a disturbing amount about Nick's personal life.
As the evening progresses, their conversation touches on life, God, meaning, pain, faith and doubt - and it seems that having Dinner with a Perfect Stranger may change Nick's life forever.
