The story

What Is Saving God About?

The premise of Saving God without spoilers.

Ex‑con Armstrong Cane (Ving Rhames) returns home a changed man, determined to reclaim his father’s church and lead the congregation. The neighborhood is riddled with drugs and gangs; many residents flee to better areas, only to fall under a preacher (Ricardo Chivara). Even as a gang leader (Dean McDermott) threatens the flock, Armstrong refuses to give up.
