MAIN CAST

JOSHUA SMITH

JESS MARKHAM

We are driven by the monotony of everyday despair…

 …it’s just another day.

 SYNOPSIS

When you receive the answers you seek… you will question all that you have been sold as truth. We have become blind to the horror – dressed in our cashmere and silk – praying to plastic gods of celebrity and greed. We throw handfuls of change to the less fortunate – like peanuts to diseased circus freaks.

Who is Eve Garner? A homeless woman who ranted from street corners – we have all seen them; we have all ignored them. Does she believe that she is talking with God? Does she believe that she has been chosen to deliver a message? But if there was a God and God had a message, whom would God speak to? We are all too caught up in our own self-righteousness and worth to be of any use to a deity. So is Eve a messenger of God, or just a deranged woman who has gathered a loyal following of supporters? And who is Jacob Marcott? And why is he tracking her down? Jacob is an everyday preacher in everyday America - taking the bible at its word. He has been driven to rage and seeks to destroy Eve and her message. But why?

John Covaleskie as Jacob Marcott entraps Ben Owens into his web.
