Handler
begins as a member of Brother Bob's flock, Geordi, is released from
prison. Geordi's wife, Terri, takes him back into their home, wary of
his hard-drinking history, and still mourning the loss of their little
girl in an accident a few years back. Both in low spirits, Terri and
Geordi go to Brother Bob's service where Geordi decides to handle a
snake for the first time. The resulting tragedy shakes the congregation
to its core, but the miracle that follows a few days later lifts it to
heights never before reached.
Written
by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan (The
Kentucky Cycle),
Handler
is a gorgeous, poetic,
musical story of faith, love, forgiveness and redemption.
