Synopsis:
Faith is a young girl in Pittsburgh who learns from a Ouija board that her destined soul mate will be a man named Damon Bradley. As a teenager, she is told the same thing by a fortune teller. Now in her twenties and teaching in a Catholic elementary school, she has decided to marry a steady, but rather dull, podiatrist, and has "almost, but not quite" given up on the hope of finding Damon Bradley. However, ten days before the wedding, a chance call from an old school friend of her fiance's sends her scurrying to the airport in a last ditch, frantic effort, before her marriage, to find her destiny.
