Out of desperation, a boy from an abusive home translates a Bible scripture after Church literally and tests God existence to save him.

SYNOPSIS:

ROB (11) cringes when he overhears his father, DAN (40), reprimanding his younger brother, SAM (5), for telling his parents that he is not feeling well.

Dan, being an abusive father, insists that Sam is just trying to worm his way out of going to church. Their mother, MARY (30), tries to buffer the tension and lets Sam know that he will be fine.

In church, PREACHER LIONEL, reads the passage where Gideon requires God to prove his existence by the use of fleecing. Rob is intrigued by the reading before it is interrupted by Sam’s illness causing their father to feel embarrassed and livid.

At home, that night, Dan beats Sam in the bathroom until Mary breaks it up and puts herself in danger.

Rob steals wool from his mother’s basket and plants it in the middle of the field, asking God to answer his prayers the same way he did Gideon’s in the Bible.

At their next church attendance, Dan passes away, and Rob is left questioning if this is the answer to his prayers.
