Summary
Three socially mismatched teens are trapped in the school darkroom during a violent earthquake. Despite being raised in the same church, they consider themselves far too different to be friends - until they discover God had other plans. After being rescued, Tiffany fears she will be permanently blind, Josh that he'll be handicapped, and Mo that he'll never speak again. Upon awakening in the hospital the following day, each of them discovers that in addition to being healed, they have been given supernatural gifts. Tiffany can see people's darkest, most painful moments, Josh can identify those in need, and MO cannot stop himself from spouting scripture and encouragement. Individually, they may feel they are going crazy, but together they are an evangelism task force that cannot be stopped - until the gifts are abruptly taken away. These teens must learn real-life lessons of unity, servanthood, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
