From the director of Requiem for a Vampire, The Possession of Father Thomas, The Haunting of Danbury House, Black Ribbon and Process comes the heart warming story of a teenage boy who finds goodness in a world full of hate and bigotry. Johnny is an exceptional guitarist and singer. He lives at home with his parents, Ellen and Louis. His Dad is confined to a wheelchair after an automobile accident left him a paraplegic. Louis lost his faith in God and has become bigoted especially toward an Afro-American family who just moved into their neighborhood. Johnny befriends Charles, the teenage Afro-American boy and Johnny's Father goes nuts. Ellen, Johnny's Mom, is going through a hard time trying to take care of Louis. It's not until Louis needs a kidney transplant that he renews his faith.  The film will include many uplifting songs performed by Johnny, Charles and a full choir, blending the old songs with upbeat guitar and vocals.  Special guest star Phil Hall, will be a featured vocalist. A family friendly film that can be enjoyed by all ages.
