23-year-old Celai (sa-lay) LaCroix should have died in a horrible accident, but instead, she wakes up beside the man who is responsible for her making it to the hospital, Julian Westbrook. God had put him there to be her knight-in-shining-armor, however, the "hero syndrome" doesn't seem to wear off. 

Surprisingly, it wasn't the first time the two met. Celai was a frequent attender of Disciples of Truth Church, while Julian was the pastor-in-training. 

It may seem like a coincidence, like the world was just small, but in fact, it was the Lord putting them together. Now, it was up to them to realize, sit back, and watch God unfold His blessings for them.

However, Celai has her mind in the future and her hero has his in the past. Neither being in the present is sure to provoke a mountain of issues.
