Synopsis:
In February, 2006, young Luke Abbate accepted a ride home from a fellow student following his high-school team practice. In a severe case of irresponsible and reckless teen-age driving, and over the objections of Luke and the other young passengers, the driver lost control of the car at nearly 90 miles-per-hour, spinning off a narrow road and landing in an embankment some seventy feet below. Luke suffered irreparable brain damage, and died in the hospital two days later – just four days before his sixteenth birthday.

Reviews:
Beautifully portrayed real grief and the humanness of this incredible family, from the high points to the lowest ones. Although I know Luke’s story as well as anyone outside the Abbate family can, I was drawn into the movie by the raw emotional performances of the actors. For me, Andie became Maryanne, from her super human strengths I admire to her raw “Are you kidding me?” breakdown that made those of us who love her truly laugh out loud. Aidan’s portrayal of Steven almost broke my heart. Aidan placed himself in Steven’s shoes at the crash site and made those of us who are parents feel as helpless as he must have that awful night. Audiences are shown how God’s grace is woven so beautifully in and through each moment of their lives, even when His presence is questioned by those hurt so deeply. I do wish we could have seen more of sweet Rachel and her lovely spiritedness!! Incredible movie, stayed true to the story of unending love, life born from tragedy and hope rising from loss. Incredibly well done. Definitely a must see-
