Nine-year-old Janet Moore is so tired of going to church. Boring clothes, boring sermons, boring family. But during one particular Sunday service, she’s in for a shock when her father, the church deacon, starts acting strangely. He’s down and out rude to a beautiful first-time visitor who stands during testimony service to share how good the Lord has been to her. She doesn’t even get her words out before Janet’s father cuts her off and tells the band to crank up the volume.

Soon after, a toxic secret is exposed. Janet’s secure young life explodes into a million pieces. She calls on Jesus for help. But He doesn’t come to her rescue. Neither does her mother because she's got problems of her own.
