Hamilton High Principal Wendell Quinn is tired of the violence drug abuse teen pregnancies and low expectations at his Indianapolis school. A single father of four Quinn is a Christian and a family man. He wants to see change in his community so he starts a voluntary after-school Bible Study and prayer program. He knows he is risking his job by leading the program but the high turnout at every meeting encourages him. A year later violence and gang activity are down test scores are up and drug use and teen pregnancy have plummeted. The program is clearly working-until one parent calls the press. Now Quinn faces a lawsuit that could ruin everything. With a storm of national attention and criticism Quinn is at a crossroads-he must choose whether to cave in and shut down the program or stand up for himself and his students.
