The STORY

Tucked within the shadowy landscape of a 150-year old Washington town, racial tensions brew as the events surrounding a mysterious death tear away the curtain that has concealed this small town's hidden secrets. Folklore and legend can no longer explain what lies in the woods surrounding their community. Local residents point the finger of suspicion in all directions. Blood lines thicken, friendships are challenged, and love is put to the ultimate test. The secrets dividing this town for well over a century must now be brought to light, but nothing could have prepared them for the truth. Within only days of their arrival, 14 year-old Joshua Clay and his family become the target of suspicion. Recently forced to relocate from Seattle, the Clay's settle onto an inherited property on the outskirts of town. But they soon learn that everything hiding in the shadows will be brought to light as they are thrust into the spotlight of surfacing tensions, strange encounters, and heated accusations. However, there is a divine interaction as the kingdom of heaven approaches this seemingly forgotten town. This illusive tragedy drives the Clay family to the crossroads of their faith. Will they have eyes to see the mysterious activity of an invisible God? Where will their faith lie when natural explanations can possibly shatter all they've hoped to be true? As the family draws closer to each other and clings to the beliefs they hold so dear, they will discover that the God of the scriptures is the God of the supernatural. The pilot episode propels the unique origins of the Clay Family through a gauntlet of mysteriously extraordinary events. In the face of doubt, the journey of their faith must survive the accusations of their family's history. Can forgiveness redeem their wounded past or do some scars run too deep? One thing is certain, their lives will never be the same. As we peer into the life of Joshua Clay we discover a struggle not unlike our own; the search for genuine answers, the fight for justice, and ultimately the need for truth that will not fail in the face of scrutiny. His past has been our past, his doubts have been our doubts, his search has been our search. As unexplained events unfold in non-traditional storyline, we witness the reconciling power of God's love to transform a town pleading for it's past to be forgotten, sow forgiveness in the lives of the broken, and equip a generation to walk in the truth of biblical signs and wonders.
