You are on the right track, but using styles.content.getLeft won't help 
here, since it will return <img> tags where you actually just want the URL.

page.bodyTagCObject = TEXT
page.bodyTagCObject {
   value = path/to/my/default/image.jpg
   override.cObject = CONTENT
   override.cObject {
     table = tt_content
     select {
       where = colPos = 1
       max = 1
     }
     renderObj = IMG_RESOURCE
     renderObj {
       #image setup here
     }
   }
   wrap = <body style="background-image:url(|);">
}

"Image setup here" depends on the method you are using to upload and 
save the image.
You will find several resources on how to render it correctly :-)
