A strange epidemic is sweeping the world: huge wings grow from people's backs. No one has a halo. No one can fly. No one knows how or why the disease spreads. But it is spreading, and David Miller, as one of the panicked fever patients whose wings have appeared overnight, enrolls in a government clinic specially established to study them.

At the Memphis Clinic of Pathological Research, while his body is brutally parsed and probed, David performs his own dissection of memory, his choices and failures, science and myth, fate and fact. As his past unravels and the Angel Fever progresses, the questions only mount, and the possibility develops that no one, not his doctors, not himself, not the interior, sinister voice of contention he comes to know as Mr. And, has any answers. Worse still, David, who for all his life has craved order and understanding, finds that answers might not be possible, that his true disease may be the compulsion to question at all.

But reconstructing himself is more costly than he expects.
