From the Back Cover
Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison have left the mission fields of Indonesia for the mission field of Hollywood with a dream bigger than both of them. Now they have done the impossible raised enough money to independently produce a feature film with a message they hope will change the world. They have attached top talent to the picture, and are set to begin filming in Bloomington, Indiana, where Keiths daughter is a freshman, when everything begins to unravel. With millions of dollars of investors money on the line, Chase and Keith make a desperate attempt to keep the film from falling apart. Along the way, trouble threatens key relationships for the producers and makes them question everything theyre trying to do. Soon the realization dawns on them that they are in over their heads, a couple of Davids in a world of Hollywood Goliaths. Is it possible to keep things above the line, to beat the odds and make a movie unlike anything done before, or will they lose everything in the process?
