The film focuses on the many cracks in the foster care system and how Monica Henderson, propelled by great love, took them on for the sake of her foster children.
The film stars Deborah Joy Winans of 'Greenleaf' fame who says, "I loved this story. I think this is the kind of story we need in 2021. The power of love and what that looks like and that the color of love, has no color at all."

The film is being described by some as a reverse 'The Blind Side'. Winans has said that the most important part of the project for her was educating herself as to just how bad the foster system is and how many kids can fall through the cracks. The film is written by Tamara Bass who Winans has worked with before.
Trailer
The trailer of the film shows that it's not just Monica Henderson played by Winans who opens her heart to Peter and Rachel, but also her two biological children who are keen to have them as part of their family. The trailer shows that not everyone though is so welcoming of Henderson's large-heartedness.
