A single day, a single instant, or a single thought has the potential to alter the course of human history. Noah Davis is a pastor living in a privileged neighborhood. He is depressed following the death of his wife to sickness until he is approached by an old acquaintance who has established a mission in a difficult inner city neighborhood. As Christmas approaches, he packs his belongings and relocates to Salvation Street Mission with his two daughters. Now, the family must contend with the difficulties inherent with living in a crime-infested neighborhood. Noah's inspiration directs his daughters, the mission, and the community by bestowing the greatest gift of all: hope.
