The acting is great! I really enjoyed the performances of the actors. The real problems are in the storyline. It's full of plot holes. If you're going to take on heavy topics like racism and murder, then you have to follow through. It seems that the writers either didn't know how to address legal issues or were too caught up in the idea of forgiveness to realize that you must also deal with justice. The ending leaves me completely befuddled because it does not address a few of the major issues that take place during the movie. I think the writers weren't up to the task, which is unfortunate because the movie had potential. I found it very frustrating at times to follow the plot. It didn't make sense.

In the small town of Aledo Texas, a group of young white males decide to burn out an African-American family that opened a store in town. The wife and children die, as Jake (Bill McAdams Jr.) who was a reluctant participant becomes the next target of the Cain family which includes the sheriff.

The film is about forgiveness, redemption, and inner strength. The plot seemed forced and far fetched in the fact that no one went outside of the town to ask for an investigation with two eye witnesses. And after Luke rolls his truck, a few days later he is driving it from the hospital and it doesn't have a scratch. The acting is on par with faith based films, although the religious part was minimal
