This inspiring drama follows the journey of a young man named Malcolm, who discovered early on that life is unpredictable and guarantees nothing. Raised by a single mother who lived her faith with love and compassion, Malcolm only knew kindness within his church community. However, a series of tragic events led him to realize that his mother was a rare Christian who truly honored God’s commandment of love. Deeply hurt by the very people in the church he grew up in, Malcolm turned away from God, feeling that his mother’s teachings were not enough to overcome the pain he endured.

As Malcolm navigates through life, his emotions cloud his judgment and clutter his spirit. Instead of seeking healing from the Father, he relies on himself and finds solace in the wrong person. It isn’t until “life” strikes again that Malcolm sees just how messy his life has become. Now, he faces the daunting task of cleaning up the chaos he’s created. Has he hoarded his pride and feelings to the point of sickness? Has the mess caused him to spiral out of control? This powerful narrative explores Malcolm’s struggle to confront his past, reclaim his faith, and find his way back to the love and compassion that once guided his life.
