A devastating car accident leaves Ty Boyd in a coma and his life hanging by a thread. When doctors gather around to coax the family into accepting his inevitable demise, the Boyds instead rally into a force even death can't reckon with. A living force that gained momentum as real-life angels joined their efforts to seek far more than mere survival for Ty. One is awestruck by the energy, stamina, and resiliency found through faith and prayer.
