Show synopisis:

The small town of Elroy, South Carolina is thrust into the evangelical
spotlight, when what seems to be the image of Jesus appears on a refrigerator
in a trailer park. The discovery by Lou Ann Hightower, her husband Dwayne, and
her best friend Betsy, sets into motion a frenzy of conflict, communion and
good old fashioned commerce. When the National Investigator turns the
appearance into front page headlines, their trailer park becomes a mecca for
miracle seekers, soul searchers and disciples with a decidedly political
agenda. Through the ordeal, the three undergo an evolution in their
relationships with each other, and they are forced to come to grips with their
lowly status in the caste system of the rural south. In a region where religion
is as much a part of life as grits and cotton fields, God surely moves in
mysterious ways.
