In first grade, twins Alexis and Adam wrote down what they wanted to be
when they grew up and put it in their teacher's time capsule. Now
entering their senior year in high school, they are surprised to find
out what they wrote: Alexis wanted to "help people" and Adam wanted to
be a fireman. But that was before Adam got sick and their family fell
apart. Adam's leukemia is now in remission but, sadly, so is the twins'
family. Their mother and father are always working - not only don't they
have time for Alexis and Adam, they don't have time for each other.
Alexis can't even convince them to take a weekend off for one last
family vacation to Disney World.
No one is prepared when Adam gets sick again, but this time Alexis is
not alone. Adam's illness reunites the family. And Alexis discovers that
the time capsule predictions weren't so far off the mark.
