CGiii Comment

18 minutes of bible-thumping torture...

The(ir) Blurb...

Jean and Maryann are friends, maybe even best friends. They belong to the same ladies' group. They confide in one another, build each other up and share an ever-growing Christian faith. After a lovely afternoon of fellowship, Maryann reveals her concerns about her non-believing boyfriend, Michael, to Jean. Jean feels a desire to do what she believes is best for Maryann. Are these the desires of a loving friend or something more? How far will Jean go and what will the repercussions be?
