This is the Inspired story of Nora. A 14 year-old girl from the rough side of the tracks with terminal brain cancer. As Nora grows into a young woman, she begins to imagine what it might be like to have known her father that passed away when she was only three-years-old.
Having nothing but an old and yellowed Polaroid picture, and her mother’s memories and references to James Dean to go off of, Nora creates a secret garden in her consciousness where she and her father reunite. At the same time, Nora is being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that has baffled the experts on how their young patient is still walking around in her advanced condition.
Nora and her mother make the long trip from California to Memphis’ St. Jude’s Hospital where she settles in for the long haul, and makes the hospital her new home. She goes on late night walks through the empty areas of the hospital to contemplate life, love and being a young woman on the verge of life and death.
All seems to be going as well as expected until a tall, dark and mysterious stranger appears to her one night at the end of a darkened hospital corridor. A little bit terrified and somewhat intrigued, Nora strains through the shadows for a better glimpse of the man wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt and dark boots, before vanishing into the darkness.
As Nora begins to learn of her cancerous fate, the mystery man reappears to offer her a whole new world of possibilities, for here on Earth, and the hereafter.
