In the wake of losing her beloved husband (Billy Dean), grieving widow Ilene (Natalie Grant) watches helplessly as her troubled teenage son Jackson (Michael Rosenbaum) begins to spiral out of control. Despondent, she convinces her estranged father Wyatt (Rusty Whitener) to take the boy in, and pull him back from the brink. Over time, the reckless teen gains a grudging respect for his grandfather, whose tough love and religious teachings help Jackson unlock his true potential.
