Content language:

Rebecca, the daughter of a missionary, was declared a “miracle” after she survived a plane crash as a child, deep in the Amazon jungle. Years later, she has become a miracle healer, sustaining their mission thanks to her fame. But when illegal loggers invade the land belonging to the indigenous people they evangelize, her father maneuvers them into the epicenter of this escalating conflict.

As father and daughter are drawn into the looming conflict, their own past surfaces, unraveling most of what Rebecca has been brought up to believe. An important theme for me was to understand if unconditional love is possible.
