In the cold shadow of tragedy, hope is like a ray of sunshine …
Celia Bennett does her best to be a good mother. She is devoted to caring for her eight-year-old son Caleb and takes him to soccer practice on weekends. But in the middle of a drill, tragedy strikes ... and Caleb collapses on the field.
Celia rushes the unconscious boy to the hospital, hoping the doctors there can help. But their shocking diagnosis completely blindsides her, bringing her face-to-face with every parent's worst nightmare.
Her child is dying, and Celia feels powerless to help him.
Desperate to save her son's life, Celia pursues a cure through alternative medicine. But no matter what she tries, her efforts end in frustration and disappointment. Celia is devastated. Despite the support of her family, she feels utterly alone, and no one can help her. But in the darkest depths of her despair, hope walks through the door. Her father returns after a 30-year absence.
In the midst of her pain, can she let go of the despair in her soul, and embrace hope? Will it make a difference?
Or is it too little, too late?
