Preacher's Kid - Trailer (2010)

Tired of being a Preacher's daughter and longing to experience more of life, 20-something ANGIE KING strikes out on her own for the very first time and joins a traveling gospel show. In this modern-day rendition of the fable of The Prodigal Son, she soon discovers life on the road is tough but fears going home with nothing to show for herself, or worse, to a father who no longer loves her...

Our story revolves around the central character of ANGIE, who is a beautiful, but innocent, 23 year old woman. She is the daughter of a well-respected Pastor, who is the pillar of the small, family-like community within Augusta, Georgia, where she has grown up her entire life. As the only woman in her fathers life (her Mother passed when she was a little girl), she tends to all of her fathers needs: she takes care of her fathers asthma, goes to church service three times a week, carries out missions for the church, and sings in the church choir basically, her whole life revolves around the church and her father. She has yet to experience life for herself, and frankly, she feels that life is passing her by. One day, a traveling, gospel-musical-play (ala Tyler Perry) swoops into town and after sneaking out of the house to see the play, she gets mesmerized by the male lead of the show, DEVLIN, who is a smooth-talking, soulful-singing, ex-R&B, heartthrob, who inspires her to want to join the traveling road show. After an impromptu audition, where she sings her heart out for the promoter of the musical, she is offered an opportunity to become an understudy for the female lead role.

Against her fathers wishes, she joins the show, leaving behind her life of security, friendship, and fatherly love, to explore the world and experience life as a young woman. She is romanced and seduced by Devlin and begins to see the world outside of Georgia. Just as she falls in love with the smooth talking Devlin and loses her female innocence, things suddenly take a turn for the worst. He starts to abuse her both physically and mentally. She finds out that many of the other women in the play are not her friends at all and most importantly, she begins to doubt her own self-worth. With the realization that she has abandoned her true friends back in Georgia and her only family, her father, she has no where and no one to turn to. She is forced to fall deeper and deeper into the abyss and loses her sense of purpose and more importantly, her faith. Her two best friends, who are concerned for her well-being, make an unannounced visit, to show that they still love and care for her and to let her know that she does have a life and a place to go where people still love and care for her. Although, she knows they are true friends, her pride and stubbornness will not let her go back with her tail between her legs. This only makes things worse for her, as she pressures the promoter to give her her shot at stardom, so that she can prove that she is worthy to everyone. Unfortunately, she ends up in a fight with the promoter who hired her and her services are immediately terminated.

After she gets fired from the play, she embarrasses herself and finds herself lost in this world of spiritual and emotional treachery, the realization hits her she has to go home. The question is: will she find forgiveness and redemption or condemnation from her friends and most importantly from her beloved father.
