A sultry nightclub performer escapes Harlem for a Caribbean island, only to find her past catching up with her in dangerous ways.

A family Christmas dinner goes awry when conflicts erupt, major drama ensues, and one prodigal son has car trouble on his way.
Three somewhat skeptical friends take a road trip in a haggard RV reenacting an ancient Biblical pilgrimage.

This is the modern story of three travelers looking for Jesus between Jerusalem, Ohio and Emmaus, PA. What starts as an investigative experiment ends as a poignant story of post-modern pilgrimage and communal awakening.
