An overachieving oncologist, Dr. Michael Reynolds (Woody Harrelson) is kidnapped by a 16 year-old gang-banger named "Blue" (Jon Seda), who breaks out of prison to find a legendary healing lake that may hold the secret to saving him from the rare tumor that has sentenced him to death within one month.
With Blue clutching to life through his faith in the magical power of the sacred lake, Michael holds fast to his steadfast beliefs in the rigid science of Western Medicine. But as they travel together, Michael is profoundly affected by his young hijacker and begins to question his own convictions and finds the courage to confront the secret torment of his own past. |

Financial analyst Laurel Ayres (WHOOPI GOLDBERG) is intelligent, sharpwitted and talented in matters of money. She seems to have all the right elements required for vaulting to the top of the Wall Street corporate ladder. But when Laurel fails to get a well-deserved promotion - given instead to her ethically-challenged, devious colleague Frank (TIM DALY) - she finally realizes that she likely will never crack the so-called "glass ceiling," a feat so easily and quickly accomplished by her male counterparts.
It is at this moment that Laurel's career and entire life take a completely unexpected turn when she devises an ingenious, but risky, plan to create the perception that she's formed a partnership with a powerful-male-financial whiz. Fabricating and donning the persona of "Robert S. Cutty," a strutting, pony-tailed, basso-voiced Laurel skillfully walks a tightrope of illusion and success, until her underhanded rival, Frank, attempts to unmask Cutty and appropriate the disguise for his own personal gain. |

There, his innocent, hopeful spirit charms and bewilders one school official, Victoria Chappell (Carrere), while at the same time seriously rankles the high school principal (Fletcher) at every conceivable turn. In his efforts, Clark sees a beacon of hope in Griff McReynolds (Phifer), a tough kid with a surprising, hidden dream. |
