Movie Summary 


In racially charged Memphis, Tennessee, a searing personal tragedy has left
police officer Mac McDonald a bitter, angry soul, blaming a long downward
spiral on minorities, "the system" and God Himself.


Who better to bring this simmering kettle to a boil than an African-American
pastor-cop named Sam, who's just been promoted in front of Mac, and assigned
as his new partner?


When a routine burglary call goes horribly wrong, Mac McDonald hits bottom,
and stares into the Abyss of losing it all--career, family, and any reason to
go on. His only lifeline is Grace, offered by the God he's abandoned, through
the gift of a man he can barely stand.


The question is, will he take it?


THE GRACE CARD. Filming begins October 14
