Ben, Tom, Maggie, Vanessa and Annie are students of varying ages at a local high school where they face typical worldly problems of teenagers in our Modern-era. Ben and Annie are from more affluent families, whereas Tom and Maggie come from more of lower/middle class background. Vanessa is a New Orleans transplant. They are popular, do very well in school but they are in fact, in the pilot, not saved but lost in worldly matters. (Becoming Trumpets will be dramatic). Their home lives are all very different, save that for varying reasons; their parents are just not responsive as they should be. The running theme is their parents for several reasons have abdicated their parental roles in the children’s lives, a common problem in today’s modern free society, even among families of Christians. This leads to direct intervention by Gabe, a waiter at the local coffee house where the teens hang. This series should realistically explore the social conditions that lead teens to experiment and consider drugs, alcohol, suicide and other harmful activities.
The leveled and honest look at parent-teen relationships, injected with the biblical content and comment, is how we will “sell the realism” to our target audience: teenagers, who are likely to cynically reject any storytelling they find unreal or shallow.
Juxtaposing we have two concepts of realistic home/school life with a supernatural intervention theme would be similar to worldly supernatural teenage shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” “Roswell” and ”X-Men”. Whereas the supernatural premise of those shows is vampires, aliens, or super-villains, our “superhero” is Jesus Christ and his Angel, and those human individuals who perform miracles in His name and spread His ministry.
