Follow six individuals as they encounter personal epiphanies:
As the Mexican caretaker of a Baptist church, you’ll debate whether you saw what you thought you saw.
Under palms swaying in a tropical breeze, you’ll wonder what the love of your life means when she says she loves you more than she loves herself.
As a “genius,” you’ll understand what positive test results, a Harvard-bound honor student, and an unruly child who punches his mother in the chest have to do with one another.

He knew he was bloody, his gaunt frame coated with white dust, but he thought himself noble—unlike his preppy companion, who looked pitiful. Victor’s polo shirt had been torn off on one shoulder. He spun back and forth looking up and around. Flex chuckled. Victor looked like a flour‐dusted lunatic.
