** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ** Los Angeles, CA (April 14, 2017) – Vinnie “Randy” Vanatta is a con artist, devoid of any sense of morality. He’s made a living out of deceiving people, until one day when spiritual payback rears its ugly head in the form of a conflicted and tormented preacher.
Pastor Daniel Helms (Brett Donowho) is a man of God with a secretive past, and a very unhappy marriage. He and his wife Carla (Angel McCord) have recently moved to a small Kansas town in the hopes of starting a new life and getting their marriage back on track. When Vinnie (Ryan Donowho) shows up unexpectedly at their home to offer his handyman services, Carla is suspicious, while Pastor Daniel welcomes him into their home, declaring that it’s the Christian thing to do. Also caught in the cross hairs of Randy’s destructive path is Marlene (Giovanna Zacarias), a vulnerable and abused woman who comes to him for help in restoring her late mother’s heirloom stove. Randy takes full advantage of Marlene’s weak defenses and pulls her into his dangerous, dark world. The collision of these three persecuted souls combust into a gory struggle over not only their lives, but their eternal salvation.
