Uptown Chicago in November, 1963 is a brutal place for the James Allen McCrees of Letcher County, Kentucky. After migrating from the depleted coal fields in search of a better life, father, mother and three children have struggled for two years to make ends meet in a run-down area known derisively as "Hillbilly Land," finding solace only in the songs of their Southern mountain heritage. Now, however, as James Allen's illness worsens, his wife, Mavis June, must take more and more on herself if the family is to survive. These are the desperate circumstances in which 14-year-old Annie Mae McCree is forced to grow up and to complete her journey from girlhood to womanhood. When her mother passes on to her a folk belief in a guardian angel, Annie dares to hope that she and her family will be under his protection. However, one shattering personal tragedy after another fractures that innocent faith and forces her on a painful spiritual quest of her own. Along the way, she learns much about who she is, experiences the power of first love, and finds out a thing or two about "angels" -- most importantly, that they often aren't who or what you expect them to be, and most of the time, they rarely look like angels at all.

An irreverent and often scandalous behind-the-scenes look at the early days of the Christian movie business. January 1952 -- a time of "blacklists," the Korean War and A-bomb blasts in Nevada. When 23-year-old Randy Dillard leaves North Carolina to work for a religious film company in Hollywood he discovers that nothing is what he expects: a former cowboy star plays Jesus; the key grip produces stag films; the narrator spouts filthy limericks; the screenwriter is a blacklisted atheist; the denominational representatives love Las Vegas gambling; and the producer of The Living Savior is Jewish. Should be an interesting year.
