Plot

Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli) tries to help Nick Albright (Ross Malinger), a troubled teen whose family is going through bankruptcy and a marital breakup just before Thanksgiving. Seeking a way to escape his problems, Nick heads to a popular Rave called Heaven's Portal, and Gloria tags along. So far so good: But in her zeal to "empathize" with Nick, Gloria ends up taking the dangerous drug Ecstacy, naively taking Nick's word that the experience will bring her closer to God! Now Monica (Roma Downey) must team with Nick's mother Jessica (Stephanie Zimbalist) to rescue both the boy and the nearly-fallen angel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
