Synopsis

After a near-death experience, young CJ Nash reluctantly begins to realize that something has changed. He awoke from a coma under spiritually mysterious circumstances with the power to heal, but does he have the ability to satisfy his father, who is wary of the miracles he can-and must in good conscience-now perform? While his relationship with his father falters, CJ's connection to his gift grows stronger and clearer. He is propelled toward adulthood through confrontation despite his desire to keep the peace and protect his prestigious family name. As his abilities unfold in the face of crises, so do well-guarded family secrets. CJ searches for answers by combing the harbor in his southern hometown for beach glass in hopes that a message from god might surface in the smooth edged, cloudy fragments he gathers. With help from a diverse collection of family, friends, and guides-including his mother, best friend, could-be girlfriend, and trusted advisor, Auntie Great-CJ pieces together the meaning of his life after near death, learning that he must trust himself and the power of miracles amid the vibrant but clashing cultural norms of the 1980s.
