I. Logline
Danny reaches a crossroads between moving on to Heaven and returning to Earth to help those who have yet to discover the truth of Jesus Christ. Faced with the fear of failure and the uncertainty of what awaits him, he must decide whether to embrace eternity — or return to a world in need of hope.
II. Summary
Following the Rapture, Danny finds himself suspended in the vastness of space, surrounded by a seemingly endless stream of golden lights ascending toward Heaven. As he looks down upon Earth, he hears the cries of those left behind and realizes that someone must return to help them find Christ.
Torn between his desire to help and his fear of failure, Danny encounters a divine presence in the form of a luminous dove. After making the difficult decision to return, Danny is warned that he will remember nothing of this encounter. The dove promises to guide him through a mysterious dream and reminds him to remain strong and courageous.
Danny then plunges back into his body, where a haunting vision of suffering awaits him. He suddenly awakens in a workplace restroom, his face resting against a urinal — the last place he remembers being before the Rapture.
