Eighteen-year-old singer Grace Trey (Amanda "AJ" Michalka) is a treasure to her church congregation, but she still longs for the success tasted by her father Johnny Trey (James Denton) 20 years ago -- before he devoted his life to God. Convinced that she has what it takes to storm the charts, Grace packs her bags for L.A., and flees her small town. Later, it looks like her father's ex-manager and producer "Mossy" Mostin (Kevin Pollak) has the insider know-how to get her voice heard, but at what price? With her faith hanging in the balance, Grace soon learns that just when you think God has given up on you, the truth is He's only getting started..
