Synopsis by Daniel Gelb

From director Garrett Batty comes a drama based on true events of Liberian missionaries during their country's civil war. Six missionaries and a local minister in Monrovia seek asylum in Freetown, Sierra Leone in the midst of a brutal civil war in the 1990s. To reach religious and personal freedom, they must traverse their war-torn home country and evade rebels out to kill one of their own. This story of hope and perseverance is set amid a backdrop of incredible odds.
