SYNOPSIS
Exodus Mccrary is unhappily driving down the highway into her new life in El Paso, Texas. She’s down after a recent breakup. Exodus’s aunt, Aunt Tina, lives in El Paso and is there when Exodus arrives. Aunt Tina gives fabulous rich aunty vibes. She loves all things universal, believes in ascension, alternate realities and vibrating at higher frequencies. Exodus, not so much. She helps Exodus get settled into her new place. Perceiving something off with Exodus, she tells Exodus to live a little and open her mind & eyes to new experiences. While leaving, she tells Exodus about the lunar eclipse blood moon happening, notes this occurrence causes parallel universes to collide and gives Exodus an aquamarine stone. As she leaves, she walks past Zion Williams and waves to him. Unbeknownst to her, he walks into Exodus’s apartment. Zion lives in the same apartment as Exodus, but in a parallel universe. Aunt Tina can see him because she vibrates on a higher frequency. Zion vibrates at a higher frequency and holds the same beliefs as Aunt Tina. Zion enters his apartment and begins his after-work routine which includes meditation. During meditation, he hears noises and ends his meditation. Zion hops in the shower and the noises continue. As he is brushing his teeth, Zion wipes his mirror and is shocked to see Exodus. She appears teary eyed. Zion freaks but realizes it's a lunar eclipse blood moon happening, and his universe has intersected with another. Zion wants to meet Exodus. Zion believes Exodus must overcome her depression to see him or travel into his reality. Over the following weeks, he watches her through mirrors and begins falling for her. Zion travels into Exodus’s universe while she's at work and leaves a trail.
One night Exodus has a mental break. Zion sees it through the mirror and decides to act. He travels into her universe through meditation and his aquamarine stone. He knocks on her door. She can see him in physical form because he traveled to her reality. Zion tells Exodus he lives in an upstairs apartment, heard commotion and was checking in. Exodus is apprehensive and rushes to close the door. Zion asks her to wait and asks to hang out. Against her apprehensions, Exodus invites him to meet at the park for a run. He accepts. Over time, Zion continues to travel to Exodus’s universe for park runs. They begin to fall in love. They have a wonderful time when Zion takes Exodus on a desert picnic date. After dropping her off, he travels back to his universe, watches her through the mirror and observes her new happiness. The next morning, Exodus decides to go to the upstairs apartment to greet Zion instead of meeting him at the park. Shockingly, a confused man opens the door and assures Exodus that no one named Zion lives there. Exodus wants to know where Zion came from. She confronts Zion at the park. Zion explains he’s from a parallel universe. Exodus freaks and tells Zion to stay away.
After a few days, she recalls the time she came home and observed random articles open on her computer. Exodus scours the web for information about parallel universes, alternate realities and blood moons. While researching, Zion knocks on her door. After hesitation, she lets him in. Zion sees the aquamarine Exodus received from Aunt Tina and places it in her hand. He takes his aquamarine and places it in his hand. Zion teaches Exodus how to travel between universes and how he sees into her universe. Aunt Tina facetimes Exodus and notices Exodus in an unrecognizable apartment with Zion. Exodus, who is now happy and vibrating higher, tells Aunt Tina that she is fine and with the help of Zion, her mind is ascended, and she can now “see”!
