Hearts are Trump
Connie Martin
America finds itself at a crossroads. Hearts of Trump explores that dilemma through three generations of a white family and two generations of a black family. Their lives intersect as racial and political tensions ratchet up and both families seek to do the Lord's will in sorting through the mess and arriving at a decision on whom to throw their support on November 3 at the ballot box. Minds are changed as information and hearts are sifted and logic and common sense applied to determining the truth in a vast ocean of emotionalism, information, misinformation and disinformation.
Mission Improbable
Susan
Matthew was born with a silver spoon in his mouth that allows him to obtain his degree in theology from Harvard and land a sweet and lucrative pastoral gig that gives him freedom to recreate to his heart’s content. His new $74,000 Cadillac, which he dubs “White Lightning” is the pride of his considerable possessions. Matthew is also proud of his very upscale church in Tennessee. When God sends him a dream in the night, he has to reconsider his priorities in life. The nocturnal vision leads him to a local faith based drug/alcohol rehab center operated by Mission Teens. While Matthew is trying to determine a road map for his life, two substance abusers in the Heartland are trying to avoid being sent to an obscure community in Tennessee for rehabilitation. Circumstances put both Shane and Susan on the same bus, headed to Davy Crockett country and a rendezvous with a proud young pastor, Cupid, and the Holy Spirit
Old Rugged Cross
Pastor Luke Wolfe is a man with a mission: to close down the rest of the churches in town and to build a facility that will be the gem of the community. He also aims to put a wedding ring on the hand of his church's pianist, the most attractive eligible woman in town. His plans hiccup when Pastor Evan Shephard arrives in town and rents the vacant church building formerly known as Old Rugged Cross. Not only does Wolfe have a new rival for the piano player's affection, but also for the hearts of the citizens of the town he desires to dominate, including his own son, the youth pastor of his mega church.
Providence
Adult Rachel
Rachel Cartwright and Mitchell Little both grow up in the small town of Providence, Tennessee. Their paths keep intersecting and at one point it looks like they'll finally get together. But the opportunity slips away and they go their separate ways. It takes a tragedy many years later before they're reunited. This time will they let the moment pass or will they finally overcome their insecurities and connect with their soulmate?
Jeremy Brooks
Peggy
A rip-roaring saga of runaway ambition stars Chicago’s own Simeon Henderson (“Chicago PD,” “Empire”) as Jeremy Brooks, an arrogant would-be news anchor in the grip of appetites that threaten to doom his most cherished relationships. An inveterate womanizer behind his long-suffering fiancée’s back, Brooks targets exactly the wrong alluring intern for an after-work dalliance, setting off a chain of fateful events that will burn bridges and mark his future. Director Miller brings a grand sense of melodrama to this story of broken faith, betrayed trust, and the quest for forgiveness.
