SYNOPSIS: Promise, Texas, is no place to raise a family. No rain. Businesses failing. The kids can’t wait to grow up and move away. Some folks say the town is cursed. But just when things are at their darkest, a mysterious boy comes out of the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on his back and a strange mat under his arm. He has a message for the people of Promise, but they’re slow to listen. They’re blind to the mirror between the slow death of the town and their own parched souls. Confronted by their spiritual shortcomings, the town’s indignation turns to outrage. Still the boy holds to his message: without Christ there is no hope, and Promise can be remade only through earnest communion with the Father. In the end, with his back against the wall — surrounded by skeptics — the boy is forced to reveal his true identity.
ADDITIONAL STORY IDEAS:
- Small town. Big dreams—In the small, North Texas town of Justin, a group of local citizens wanted to produce a film about reaching out to God when you find yourself in need. These people reached out to Mike Norris, veteran actor and director, who had left Hollywood behind, set up shop in nearby Flower Mound and was committed to creating faith-focused film.
- Making films beyond Hollywood—Veteran actor and director Mike Norris grew up well acquainted with the Hollywood scene—his father is legendary star and martial arts champion Chuck Norris—and immersed himself in it as a young man. But after marrying in 1992, he wanted more from life than Hollywood glitz and parties. He moved to Flower Mound, Texas, near Dallas, established 2nd Fiddle Entertainment and began creating faith-focused films.
