Storyline

In 2021, when the remains of prisoner of war and Army combat chaplain Emil Kapaun (perhaps the Vatican's next saint) are identified after 70 years, much of our nation is captivated by their journey home. When a younger former chaplain unexpectedly embarks on his own journey to greet them, he becomes inspired by the untold stories of the 419 U.S. military chaplain heroes who've given their lives for this unique calling. As the paths of these two combat chaplains from different eras finally collide, we're reminded of how the profound weight of history and the immense power of love can converge to produce a life-changing moment of healing. — Anonymous
