Synopsis

Drama based on true events. Joyce Smith’s adopted son John has an apparently fatal accident, falling into a frozen lake in Missouri where he has no oxygen for fifteen minutes. Though he cannot be revived, Joyce refuses to accept that he is lost, and in the emergency room she takes hold of his feet and prays to the Holy Spirit for him to come back. At that moment he begins to show signs of life, and his recovery begins. More events are to follow which Joyce, her friends and doctors deem to be miraculous.
