A young charismatic preacher and his hot Latina girlfriend travel Route 66 scamming the small churches along the way only to find that the bogus healing powers he portrays bee real. The healing powers serve as a blessing and a curse.
本片讲述一个男孩从6岁到18岁的成长历程，导演理查德·林克莱特花了12年时间来完成这部作品。它仔细描画了孩子的成长过程，及其父母亲各个方面的变化，可以让观众细致入微地体会岁月流逝的痕迹。为了不打扰主演艾拉·萨尔蒙的正常生活，拍摄均在他暑假期间的简短时间内完成。
