Save Me

Emmy nominee Anne Heche ("Hung") stars as Beth Harper in NBC's new comedy about a not so ordinary Midwestern family. After choking on a hero sandwich in her kitchen and suffering a dramatic near-death experience, Beth, an absentee wife & mother, is revived and claims she can now talk to God. Her teenage daughter Emily (Madison Davenport, "Shameless") is horrified and her husband Tom (Michael Landes, "Final Destination 2") is skeptical. To make matters worse, Tom's ex-mistress Carly McKenna (Alexandra Breckenridge, "American Horror Story") is in a coma after a close encounter with lightening in the Harper's front yard. As Beth warms up to her new life, she strives to make amends to the people she has alienated over the years, including her friends and neighbors Jenna Dennings (Heather Burns, "Bored to Death") and Maggie Tompkins (Joy Osmanski, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). Despite everyone's initial hesitancy, Beth begins to win people over with her new positive attitude, cheerful optimism and unbridled love.
