One of the most intense and provocative films ever made about the ecstasy and agony of religious faith, the debut feature from writer turned filmmaker Michael Tolkin (THE PLAYER) features an astonishing performance from Mimi Rogers as Sharon, a hedonistic Los Angeles telephone operator who seeks release through meaningless hookups with strangers. When she is warned by a Christian sect that the Rapture is nigh, Sharon is launched on a terrifying spiritual journey that will put her relationship to God to the ultimate test.
