Publisher's Synopsis
When a supercell strikes Massachusetts, students at Montgomery Lake High School are in complete disarray. One day later, the popular class president Andy Rosetti is in a coma and his classmate Jason Davids feels responsible for the tragedy. Guilt moves Jason to examine his own life and realize that recreational drug use has led him to a dangerous place; he believes if he had been sober during the tornado, he could have prevented Andy's accident. Jason seeks out the help of his former best friend Chris Dunkin, who abandoned the partying scene to center his life on football and faith two months prior. Together, Jason and Chris formulate a plan to save Andy's life, but they will need a miracle to carry it out. The doctors believe Andy may not make it through the weekend.
