Production synopsis: A teen girl afraid of water and a disenchanted preacher strike up a friendship in 1930s southern Indiana. When the girl was young, she nearly drowned leaving her with aching trauma and a longing for her lost mother. The preacher, set on breaking away from a long line of Kentucky family preachers, is determined not to do what he does best.

A wayward preacher. A girl living in fear. A town where everyone is searching for something more. This heartwarming story isn’t to be missed.
