The true story of Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed in the Columbine High School shooting on April 20, 1999.

The Columbine Massacre of April 20, 1999 completely redefined America's view of the lives of high-school students. Drawn straight from Columbine victim Rachel Joy Scott's words and journal entries, through the insight of her mother, Beth Nimmo, it is the true story of a high-school student whose compassionate, caring faith caused her to reach out to fellow students, including her killers, who made her a target of their murderous plan.—Visible Pictures

In Littleton, Colorado, young Rachel Joy Scott witnesses her father leave her family in the middle of the night. Her mother then struggles financially and encourages her children to pray for financial help. Rachel begins to become more spiritual in embracing her Christian faith. During her sophomore year at Columbine High School, Rachel becomes rebellious and begins sneaking out to hang out with her friends Madison, Gabby, and Celine. During the summer, Rachel's mother sends her to her cousins in Louisiana, where her spirituality grows. The next year, on the first day of school, Rachel witnesses the jocks picking on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and Eric threatening to kill them.
