Overview
Picture this if you will. A futuristic lighthouse floating through dark space. Aboard this lighthouse is a Spirit Guide and his two younglings Alexi and friend Micah. Three spiritual beings on an unusual journey. When the curious Alexi asks what his life will be like on earth the Spirit Guide is compelled to show him. He knows that dark forces are at hand and Alexi may indeed never be born at all. The Guide reluctantly shows him special moments in time where we find Alexi's family in deep turmoil where dark secrets abound.
