Michael Spurlock, a former salesman turned pastor, is assigned to a small, struggling Episcopal church in Smyrna, Tennessee. Having been informed that the church is scheduled to close due to its dwindling congregation and financial struggles, Michael's initial task is to help sell the property. However, his plans radically change when a group of Karen refugees from Burma arrives, seeking asylum and a place to worship. Enthralled by their plight and resilience, Michael faces a moral dilemma as he grows increasingly attached to the community.

Realizing the potential to rejuvenate both the church and the refugees' lives, Michael convinces his superiors and the church members to transform the unused land into a working farm. This venture aims to provide food both for the needy refugees and as a possible means to save the church from closure. As various challenges arise, including financial constraints and skepticism from the congregation, a powerful story of faith, perseverance, and community unfolds. The impact of their combined efforts sets in motion events that test their resolve and shape the future of everyone involved.
