18-year-old Paula Snow has been homeless for 5 long years, and is desperately seeking shelter from a terrifying thunderstorm. She is chased away from the only shelter she can find and, feeling helpless, she cringes against a cold salon wall. Moments later her prayers are answered when Renie comes to her aid and quickly becomes her guardian angel. Renie volunteers at Mariner House, a home for the lost and forlorn, and takes Paula there, where she meets Father Nicolas and Teddy McGill. Slowly Paula's life changes for the better and she learns a valuable lesson of worthiness and the love of God.
