Katie''s nearly perfect life is violently disrupted when she is attacked inside of a parking garage. The senseless act of violence unleashes dormant supernatural abilities that save her from her attacker, but also take a terrible, and ultimately, unbearable toll. Reeling from the shock of a life suddenly gone awry, she takes to the streets where she befriends the streetwise Jenny, who manages to get Katie a spot at a women''s shelter. Katie attempts to use her power to help some of the shelter''s residents, only to find that the consequences are far more tragic than she could have imagined. ''Shelter'' is about the one moment when your life goes horribly wrong and the only thing you find yourself doing is making it worse. -- Marie Croall
