The Grace of Jake
The film opens with ex-inmate and musician Jake Haynes (Jake La Botz – True Detective, Rambo) stealing a car and traveling to rural Arkansas hellbent on exacting revenge on his father Henry (Michael Beck – Warriors, Xanudu), who abandoned him, but his plan begins to unravel as he discovers a complicated family history among the cotton fields and gospel churches. Through the help of locals like Alvah (Lew Temple – Walking Dead, Lawless) and Maurice (Ravi Kapoor – The Brink, Crossing Jordan) and finally through a forbidden romance with Nicole (Jordin Sparks – American Idol, Sparkle), he comes to understand the complexities of family and the virtue of forgiveness.
