Julie, a nominal Christian, finds her manicured, pedicured, self-absorbed designer life turned upside down when she's transported against her will to India. She struggles to rescue 11 orphans living on a garbage dump before she can return home.
SYNOPSIS:
Thirty-two-year-old Julie professes to be a Christian but few things in her lifestyle would back that up. She is self-absorbed and has little concern for people outside her immediate family, husband Michael and 9 year-old-son, Logan. Julie and Michael have endured two miscarriages since Logan’s birth.
This self-focused, anal retentive woman’s life is turned upside down when she catches a train to New York for a weekend shopping binge. She arrives at the station to find the platform totally empty and the train leaving. The conductor, Mr. Dove, pulls her on board and takes her through the deserted train and into the dining car where she sits with the only passenger who turns out to be Jesus.
He gently helps her deal with the symptoms of her wounded heart, left over pain from a critical, unloving father. In His tender love toward her He convinces her that she doesn’t have to perform to be loved and that if He had a refrigerator her picture would be on it.
After a wonderful, healing conversation and a lunch of all her favorite foods, she commits to honor His request to feed My lambs. When the train stops she gets off and is hysterical when she finds herself at a railway platform in Mumbai, India. Jesus and the train are gone. Her divine assignment? Rescue 11 orphans living on a garbage dump before she can return home.
Julie must learn to listen to the Lord’s voice for daily instructions for the simplest tasks during this traumatic time. New challenges arise each day for her to overcome. Everything is out of her control. She misses her Sleep Number bed as she ungraciously learns to sleep on the ground and forgo bathrooms and other western conveniences. The Lord disables her phone so she can’t call home. She complains that her family will think she’s dead when she doesn’t show up in two days. He promises that He will take care of her family if she’ll take care of His.
On a practical level, she must bridge the communication gap and provide food for herself and the orphans when her wallet is stolen. Mr. Shaw who steals children, maims them and sends them out on the street to beg is also constant threat.
After living through Hell she is led to a member of a church that has turned a house into an orphanage. When the orphans are moved in and all seems safe, Mr. Shaw breaks in and kidnaps several of the children. Julie and the rest of the orphans risk their lives to steal the children back.
When the time is right, Julie returns on the train with Jesus and an adopted Indian orphan. When she meets her husband and son on the platform in New York, she is stunned to find out she’s only been gone two days.
As the credits roll we see Julie and her family, a year later, visiting in India helping paint the new addition to the orphanage that her architect husband has designed. The new Julie laughs hilariously as the orphans engage her in a paint fight, ruining her new jeans.
