Pastor David Newman is a loving husband and father set to take over his father's church while neglecting the promises he made to his 12-year-old son Eric. Kate Hernandez is a spiritually-driven single-parent owner of a local restaurant; her daughter Maria is a free-spirited teenager aspiring to be the first in her family to attend college. John Danielson owns a failing construction company and sees his daughter Michelle's fledgling singing career as a way out of financial trouble. These strangers' lives collide when two twists of fate strike back-to-back. The first: while texting and driving in her car, Maria accidentally hits Eric, which lands Maria in jail and leaves Eric's family in an unthinkable dilemma. The second: while auditioning for a major record label, Michelle collapses, leading to a discovery about her health which rocks the very foundation of her father's dream. All three families start questioning their faith and the Higher Power that guides their lives. As each family member deals with their issues, their worlds intertwine. This leads to a chain of events that brings the three families closer and closer together. Will the families give in to the loss, pain and uncertainty that has shattered their lives, or will they find the tie that binds them all together through hope, trust, redemption, and goodwill?

The House That Jack Built
USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack over a span of 12 years and are introduced to the murders that define Jack's development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack's point of view, while he postulates that each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork. Along the way we experience Jack's descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge--a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and psychopathic explanations. The House That Jack Built is a dark and sinister story, yet presented through a philosophical and occasional humorous tale.
