One morning, 15-year-old Holly has a premonition and calls her school to say she will be absent. That same day, a section of the school burns down. Several months later, the mourning community is trying to move on. One teacher, Anna, is especially intrigued by Holly and her strange premonition. She invites Holly to help with the voluntary work she is doing. It soon becomes clear that Holly has ‘something’ that brings people peace of mind, warmth and hope. Gradually, more people seem to find their way to Holly’s cathartic energy, even without Anna’s direction.
