Logline

After a devoted small-town pastor loses his wife and children in a sudden accident, his faith collapses, sending him into grief, temptation, and isolation as he confronts whether belief can endure when it no longer offers answers.

Synopsis

Ben Fisher, a respected pastor in a New England town, lives a grounded, imperfect, but meaningful life defined by service, family, and belief. When a tragic accident kills his wife and children, Ben’s carefully constructed worldview implodes. The words he once used to comfort others now feel hollow, even cruel.

Unable to remain in his role or community, Ben leaves town and drifts toward his past in Montreal, where old friendships and destructive temptations promise escape but deliver only further alienation. As Ben spirals, the film refuses easy theological answers or miraculous resolution. Instead, it explores grief as endurance and faith as something stripped of reward.

The story concludes not with restored certainty, but with the suggestion that belief—if it survives at all—must exist without explanation or protection.
