Plot

Some friends enjoy an out-of-town rock concert (Third Day/Toby Mac etc.) in Charlotte, NC. After some eerie events at their hotel, the friends abandon their night of rest and decide to drive thru the night back to their hometown several hours away. However, someone or something follows them home. After a seemingly uneventful school day, events unfold that find the lead character alone at the Mall later that evening. As the night closes in, the mall closes, and we find our heroine mysteriously trapped inside. However, she is not alone. It will take her resolute strength and unflinching faith (and a few shocking “miracles” along the way) for her to escape the night.

Production Notes (from the Director)

“Pray” is a fun, suspense/thriller designed to take the viewer on a clean thrill-ride. It is in the new and growing genre of positive, edgy, faith-friendly films that are not overtly “preachy” yet are fully appealing to general, secular audiences. (See recent 20th Century Fox/Fox Faith Theatrical Release: “Thr3e (film)” by Ted Dekker and “Hangman's Curse” by Frank Peretti for similar theme.) In our film the hero & heroine are believable, moral characters cast in a positive light. Target audience is anyone who wants to enjoy an adrenaline-inducing thrill-ride/movie experience without the offensive content of the current slate of films in theaters today. Target age for “Pray” will be High School & Older and has been called “The Perfect Semi-scary Date Movie!” by those who’ve seen the script. It has humor, drama, action, elements of fright, and a subtle moral message throughout that teens as well as parents will appreciate. For fans of this genre, there is even a shocking, if not, miraculous twist ending that will leave the audience gasping.
