The Valley of Candles

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
― St. Francis of Assisi, The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi

Does God Exist? Are Demons Real?

The battle is raging between good and evil in the small town of Harper, Wisconsin where McCoy O'Neal and Matt Morris enter their senior year with no plans for the future. McCoy's life is dominated by his overbearing religious father who spends his time showing his son on how to study the bible and spending what time is left with his girlfriend, who is out of his league. When tragedy strikes and McCoy has nowhere to live, Matt mysteriously has all the answers he swears have come from God who has visited him.
McCoy follows Matt's lead with determination. When rituals and miracles become the norm McCoy disregards the beliefs he has always carried about religion. Their lives go from misery to triumph and suddenly nothing they do is wrong the two dive deeper into their worship which looks similar to well known witchcraft rituals. The local Pastor has his doubts about the two and enlists the help of a classmate who is on the front lines in what he believes to be spiritual warfare Is there anything to turn the tide or is there something more sinister at work coming from an outside source?
As the darkness grows the stage is set and the ultimate question of who God is will be answered.
But all answers come with a price...and the currency just may be their lives.
