He is a pastor, and now he is on a ninety-day sabbatical to see if he can find his faith again. On his journey, he meets a small, little man who takes him on a tour of the chaos and degradation that threatens to consume the earth. He is given indisputable evidence that pain and sorrow are a part of life. Will this be enough to save him? Will he be able to say to his congregation, "Never give up?" Will he be able to mean it?
