In an almost-forgotten part of town overrun by a ruthless gang infestation, a community is struggling with their faith and belief in God as they see their neighborhoods torn apart and their youth targeted for recruitment by the gangs. Even the local church struggles just to keep the lights on because of its barely-existent congregation's lack of enthusiasm. However, all this begins to change when a mysterious pastor arrives to lead the church. With his faith in hand and God by his side, Pastor Miguel sets out to inspire the community into action, empower the youth, and ultimately to re-ignite the community's faith in God.
