Synopsis

A tight group of 9 high school seniors pushes back when one of them (Meagan), starts thinking aloud about deep topics like life and her faith. Too much thinking according to her steady guy Mike, and her high school friends who want her back with the group. Then everything changes when their car accidentally hits a classmate, Cliff, walking home on a stormy night from a Bible class. The 9 friends are assessing the impact of this, when Meagan’s and Mike’s differences boil over. Meagan visits Cliff in the hospital, who recognizes her confusion and provides/sings words of assurance. Guy/girl talk scenes cover current teen issues as the group tries to push the accident and the drama into the background, leading up to Cliff’s introduction to the group in the last scene, and the rousing gospel finale “Oh Blessed Faith.”
