Description
An aggressive civil war has escalated, threatening many lives, including a group of native Liberian missionaries and their leader. With the help of local church leader Phillip Abubakar, the missionaries make the difficult journey, only to have their troubles compounded by a rebel fighter bent on killing one of their own. Now they must be willing to give up all that they have, to make a desperate cross-country trip, with little chance of survival, in order to protect one of their own.
