Lorraine is a quiet, meticulous thinker that has gone her whole
life blaming her father for her childhood torment and her failed
relationships. She has hid behind blame, regret and doubt, building
walls around herself in order to remain invisible - in the hopes of
alluding hurt and heartbreak again. Those same walls come crashing
down as she finds herself facing a judge who sentences her to
mandatory therapy. Lorraine's therapist helps her break through to
the truth of her paralyzing fear, and forces her to stop pointing
her fingers in blame, take responsibility for her a waiting destiny
and step off the edge into life. Winston is a high level executive
making big moves and seemingly has it all together. He, however, is
convinced no one would ever understand the pain he has silently
experienced and the tears he has cried for the love he lost. He is
too ashamed to reach out for help and too afraid that everyone
deserves forgiveness, but him. A chance encounter on an elevator
ignites his heart. This leads him to an old friend that will help
him see that forgiveness may be the very thing that will give
Winston the second chance he has been praying for. Living in fear
is a slow long drawn straight line to nothing. We struggle to set
goals and to create a realistic dream; too afraid to live. We
choose fantasies filled with knights in shining armor coming to
rescue us from our sin and personal state of woe. We decide not to
change on our own, knowing what's necessary to complete our
purpose. When does it end? When do we stop living in fear of the
unknown or fear of success or fear of inadequacy? When do we take
the leap of faith, when do we take the opportunity to step off the
edge?
