Synopsis: Sometimes everything you want is what you already have. Maggie isn’t exactly popular in school. In fact, she is pretty much invisible. While most girls are going to parties with boyfriends, she is busy acting as mother and housewife to her two younger brothers and father. But what she really wants is to be noticed by her brother’s friend, Webb. When her sixteenth birthday comes along, Maggie makes a wish, “Please, Lord, let sixteen be a great year; let me be pretty and popular and let Webb..." It’s too big a dream to even put the rest into words. Then she hears a noise in the woods that she can’t ignore. She takes a path that will change her life.
