Like Tom Saab said, this is a riveting thought-provoking movie! We have shown this movie to a variety of groups and we have noticed how the audience quiets down as the dialogue challenges their thoughts. It is a riveting movie.

“I am the light of the world, he who believes in Me shall not perish.” – Yeshua

Stranded in the middle of nowhere, five strangers find themselves marooned in a deserted roadside diner. An arrogant businessman, (played by Steve “Sting” Borden), a lonely single woman (played by Jaci Velasquez), a couple on the verge of divorce (played by Jamie Neto and Danah Davis), and a youthful runaway (played by Madison Gibney) all come face to face with the diner owner who serves them more than temporal nourishment.

The genial host is a certain Nazarene (played by Bruce Machiano) who knows all of their secrets and possesses the answers to all of their problems – if only they would trust him. It is a miraculous Encounter that will leave them all changed.

Kass Connors plays the devil and this film introduces Madison Gibney as the runaway teenager and Steve "Sting" Borden who plays the arrogant businessman.
