"Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." - John 1:5
When a teen’s plan to end his life is interrupted by a mysterious stranger, he finds an unlikely mentor and uncovers the dark secret motives of the town’s newest celebrity. The show centers around a high-school teacher gone missing and the family of Detective Ethan James, whose son, unbeknownst to him, is considering suicide to escape the pain from the loss of his mother.

Breaking Strongholds addresses teen suicide, depression, abandonment, spiritual darkness, and more.
