Another World War is upon us, this time on North American soil. Soldier Jeremy Simmons is shot as bombs fall on Toronto. A little boy only he can see gives him a gift of his handkerchief and one strange word. As Jeremy sits healing in the hospital, unable to help his premature daughter and comatose wife, his grandfather sheds a small light on the little boy. Slowly, as Jeremy watches over his family, he figures out the boy's hidden and life-changing message.
