The movie features the story of two best friends who dream of making it big in Hollywood but always find themselves in some kind of trouble. The story takes a hilarious turn when they plan to make a movie based on Christianity, solely for the purpose of making money.
The two friends, Luke and Tanner, played by Luke Barnett and Tanner Thomason respectively, have been struggling to make it big in Hollywood for years. However, even after trying everything, they have failed to get their break. As a last-ditch effort, they decide to make a faith-based movie solely for the purpose of making money. With no knowledge of religion or the Bible, they plan to make a movie based on the premise that faith-based movies have a ready audience, and is a foolproof way to make money.
As soon as they get their hands on a Bible, they begin to write the script. But they soon discover that writing a faith-based movie that will connect with the audience is not as easy as they thought. Their initial attempts are comical and ridiculous, and they soon find themselves in trouble with the church community.
To make matters worse, they quickly realize that making a movie is more challenging than they thought. The two friends must navigate through the pitfalls of Los Angeles and the movie industry. They must find funding, hire a cast and a director, and deal with unexpected obstacles along the way.
