A film about a marital crisis from the co-creators of the cult classics *Courageous* and *Fireproof*. The film’s impact is marred by a forced attempt in some scenes to present the Gospel in a propagandistic manner. A strength of the film is its focus on the spiritual issues that are usually at the root of marital crises.

At first glance, Tony and Elizabeth seem to have the perfect life. They have a beautiful home, good jobs, and a lovely daughter. Spiritually, they lead what is essentially a standard life, and that is the main source of their emptiness, which eventually escalates into a serious marital crisis.

Elizabeth has long been unable to connect with Tony, and they argue regularly, mainly over money. Tony is so disillusioned with his wife that when he leaves one day on a long business trip, he almost cheats on Elizabeth with another woman.

At that time, thanks to an elderly woman, Elizabeth realizes that she and her husband are actually leading a shallow and superficial spiritual life, one in which Jesus does not have the place He deserves.

Over time, Elizabeth renews and builds a deeper relationship with God and comes to realize that the main enemy she must fight against in her family is not her husband, Tony. It is, in fact, Satan, who is working behind the scenes to distance them from God, divide them, and destroy their relationship.

When Tony sees the change in Elizabeth—and how she has placed her trust in God—and feels the power of both her forgiveness and God’s, his life, too, is never the same again.
