Prone to Wander

Jeff Evans never believed that your life flashes in front of your eyes right before you die. But now, with a tractor-trailer heading towards his car on the wrong side of the highway, he realizes there might be something to that idea after all.His memory rewinds to the summer he was fourteen, hanging out at church camp with four close friends. Twenty-five years later, those four friends are living wildly diverse lives. From a rat-infested downtown boarding house filled with drunks and addicts, to a picture-perfect Christian family that hides a dark secret: Dave, Liz, Julie and Katie are in such different places, it's hard to imagine what could ever bring them together again - except a tragedy.They grew up in a world where God was in control and the rules were straightforward. But the conservative church that provided a firm foundation for some turned out to be a constricting cage for others. All that connects them now are the friendships they formed in their teens - friendships that still have the power to change their lives. In the wake of Jeff's accident, each of his friends is forced to re-examine their past and how it led them to where they are today. It might too late to save Jeff - but can Dave, Julie, Liz, and Katie still save themselves?
