In the darkest places there is hope, beauty can rise from ashes. Gia, fresh out of college, is stuck in that cycle, but a one year internship in NYC sets this southerner up for an adventure that holds the key to letting go of her past... if she'll open herself up and take the chance. Her adventure is filled with the highs and lows of life... friendship, love, hurt, betrayal. How will those around her be affected by her life choices, and how will their lives intersect Gia's to determine her future? #christiancommunityComplete
