Synopsis

After her husband abandons them for a woman he has already cheated with, Mariah White is left to raise their seven-year-old daughter alone — and then something impossible happens: Faith begins seeing God. As the girl's visions spread through town, they draw Ian Fletcher, a cynical "teleatheist" who travels the country debunking miracles, into her life. What starts as an investigation turns into a complicated entanglement between him and Mariah, while a custody battle over Faith threatens to tear everything apart.
