Set in a small town in Texas where the towns folk are super religious, the film&#8217;s plot revolves around the sighting of the image of Jesus on a screen door of one of the town&#8217;s residents and how it affects the lives and spirit of the town and its inhabitants. Comer plays Vernalynn (she thinks TV is a sin), the only white member of a Pentecostal church, whose grandkids are left with her while her son goes off on his &#8220;4th or 5th&#8221; honeymoon. She vows to give the boys that ole time religion despite their disinterest.
