Gilford High School students are in peril! The township of Gilford is demanding action! Principal Krystina Davis puts her career on the line and convinces the school board to hire the best-selling author of Children of the King, Nebraska Pastor, John Wheaton. Pastor Wheaton has one semester to put his God-centered approach to guiding teens to the test.

Initially, he and his teenage daughter Sarah receive a warm New England welcome. Then, the real work begins. The challenge of making a difference for Gilford's struggling teens looms large, and the fate of Tags, Erica, Lily, and all the other teens who desperately need his guidance hangs in the balance. Can Pastor John bring positive change to the lives of the teenagers and families in Gilford, or will forces beyond his control prove too difficult to overcome?
