When a charismatic drifter (John Schneider) wanders into a small California town, he galvanizes a local church and its dispirited pastor, Henry Maxwell (Jim Gleason), against a politician (Mark Arnold) bent on seizing the church's property in order to build a casino. But to save their congregation, Maxwell and his flock must live out their Christian beliefs in deeply trying circumstances. Thomas Makowski directs this inspirational drama.
