Storyline

Nan Davis, a teenage girl is hit in a car accident, and is left paralyzed. She has a tough time accepting her new wheelchair bound life. One day she gets a word about a new research being performed by Dr. Jerrold Petrofsky. His research is about using external electric stimulations to enable paralyzed people to use their paralyzed muscles. She enters this research as a test subject, and gets her reward when she gets to walk up to get her college diploma. Written by Eyal Arie <earie@shani.net>
