Don't ask any questions. Just drive. Those were his instructions. But the question haunted James: What was he hauling?
After his wife's death, he'd made some bad decisions. He'd lost custody of his little daughter and needed a job to be able to get her back. So, he accepted a shady job driving a truck cross country. he didn't know what he was hauling and tried not to care, but when he realizes the truth--that locked in the back of the truck are two frightened sisters--he comes face to face with a reality many of us don't know about. Human trafficking. Right here in the U.S., girls are lied to, drugged, abused, forced into prostitution. This movie is a fictional story, but it's inspired by true stories, and it is an excellent movie. It's made by the Christian music duo For King and Country. This isn't a low budget film, no, it's very high quality. It has a good storyline, good acting, and, most importantly, a good message. No, it's not perfect. In fact, James, is a very imperfect character. But that's exactly the point: God can take a very imperfect person and use them to accomplish His purposes. Antonia, one of the sisters, has a very strong faith and helps James find his faith, as does another character, Dale, who--well, I shouldn't give away too many spoilers. It is rated PG-13, because it clearly shows the horror of what human trafficking is really like, but I think they did a good job of portraying the truth without showing too much. Overall, I'd give this movie 5 out of 5 stars. If you haven't seen it yet, you really must.
