Overture: A willingness to begin negotiations; a signal indicating readiness to reach an agreement; An offering in the hope of starting a relationship; a formal proposal.

Do speeches make you nervous? Heidi thought college was going well until she was tapped to give a departmental speech. She ran for help, turning to her former speech professor, her father, and her roommate, Jenn. They did what they could, but no one was prepared to help when a special someone fell in love with her in the midst of her speech. Navigating college life takes on a whole new dimension as Heidi struggles to cope with this new attention, housemates who transgress moral standards, and a philosophy professor who suffers from a rare phobia; all serving to put her spiritual giftedness to the test. Moral issues take on real significance as four housemates learn to share the love of Christ with one another.
