The trailer opens with Ava's voiceover, explaining how she's dreamt of being dead for her entire life, leaving her body and viewing it from above, relieved that she looks like a normal girl. "Until I wake up and realize I'm still the freak I've been my whole life." But life, as she observes, "has a really effed-up way of making your dreams come true." She is dead-at least until the Order revives her as the new Chosen One. It looks like she slays a demon pretty soon after being revived, too. Buffy would be so proud.
`Caught in the middle of an ancient war between good and evil, a young girl wakes up in a morgue with inexplicable powers. Her search for answers brings her to The Order of the Cruciform Sword, a secret society of warrior nuns sworn to protect the world from evil. While juggling her responsibilities as the chosen one with the normal obstacles of a teenage girl, this mysterious fantasy drama is full of mystery, action, adventure, and teenage romance, proving our main character might fight in the name of good, but she's no angel.`
