Strangely interconnected traumatic events bring a few unlikely friends together. A handsome and smart jock, a beautiful queen bee, a struggling immigrant, an outcast that finds solace in drugs, and a French exchange student form a special bond while helping their paralyzed friend. These friends deal with the drama of high school, the stress of trying to and worrying about getting into a good college, and learning how to grow from children to adults in a few short years. They discover the power of imagination and learn to help other through a series of adventures, while witnessing the magic healing power of modern medicine. This is a story of love and disappointment, goals and obstacles, and common values of people with different social and economic backgrounds. It is a story of hope and perseverance and of learning that disappointments can often lead to a better way. It is a coming of age story sprinkled with healthy portions of science, mysticism, and philosophy.
