The Way

When Shawn Miller loses his family in a mass church shooting, he must find the strength to keep his last promise to his father and forgive his family’s killer.

Shawn Miller, an impoverished Missouri college student, resents his pastor father for the mission he funds in Papua New Guinea. One Sunday, the church doors kick open.

Attempting to disarm a shooter, Shawn’s father is shot in what sparks one of America’s worst mass shootings. In their last conversation, Shawn promises his father to forgive the shooter.

Anthony, smart-mouthed and intelligent beyond his years, is uprooted from his childhood home and is forced to live in a trailer with his abusive, predatory stepfather.

In college, he meets Allison and moves with her to Missouri, where her wealthy parents and founders of the E-Mart supercenters disparage their relationship. Torn between his deteriorating mental health and losing Allison, Anthony breaks.

Years after the shooting, Shawn travels to the Pacific to carry on his father’s legacy, where a local church leader molds his grief into a courageous, selfless faith.

Meanwhile, on death row, Anthony’s raging ego is dismantled and rebuilt by a notorious gang leader from St. Louis. The lives of Shawn and Anthony collide in a single act of controversial forgiveness.

But when faced with resistance and judgment, can Shawn overcome the pressure of losing everything and still remain faithful to his promise to forgive?
