During the devastating Great Storm of 1987, a remarkable phenomenon occurred as numerous babies were born to fathers who tragically passed away during the storm. Among these babies, Jess believed she was unique, as she seemed to possess the ability to slip away during each full moon at 3:30 am. This extraordinary occurrence had driven her mother to the brink of insanity, as she struggled to comprehend her daughter's mysterious disappearances. However, Jess soon discovered that she was not alone, and that a group of individuals with similar abilities existed. They were known as the 16/87s, a group of children born on that fateful day who had the power to transcend time and connect with their deceased fathers.

As Jess delved deeper into this newfound world, she met Josh, a young man with his own family secret to unravel. Josh had always felt disconnected from his father, who had passed away when he was a child. However, he soon realized that his father had been communicating with him through dreams and visions, and that he had been trying to guide Josh toward a greater purpose.

Determined to uncover the truth about his family history, Josh embarked on a journey of self-discovery. He sought the help of a psychic, who revealed that Josh had a rare ability to communicate with spirits and that his father had been waiting for him to embrace his gifts. With this knowledge in hand, Josh and Jess began to navigate their own complex emotions and trust each other in a way they never had before.

The 16/87s had become a family, a community of individuals who shared a special bond and a common purpose. And as they looked toward the future, they knew that there were countless more stories to be told, countless more mysteries to be uncovered. The world was theirs to explore, and they were ready to embrace whatever challenges and adventures lay ahead.
