Official synopsis
Algumas pessoas fazem seus próprios milagres.
Um garoto levava uma vida normal até que, quando tinha seis anos, estranhas coisas aconteceram, pois ele passou a ter diversos problemas de ordem mental que foram diagnosticados como ALD, uma doença extremamente rara que provoca uma incurável degeneração no cérebro, levando o paciente à morte em no máximo dois anos. Os pais do menino ficam frustrados com o fracasso dos médicos e a falta de medicamento para uma doença desta natureza. Assim, começam a estudar e a pesquisar sozinhos, na esperança de descobrir algo que possa deter o avanço da doença.
