The other patient is Prior Walter, who is visited by an angel and deserted by his self-pitying lover, Louis.

Fox documented his cross-country trek to find out if the controversial process of hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) is actually safe. What he unearthed was a discovery about a practice that is understudied and inadequately regulated, and raced to find answers about fracking before it was too late.
