Plot
Set in Pasadena, California, in 1917, the story follows Blynn Lehman (Seth Pruski), one of nine children in a family confronting financial hardship amid World War I. Blynn’s older brother receives a draft notice, and his father, Pastor Frederick “Papa” Lehman (Rich Swingle), begins writing a hymn about God’s love but struggles to complete it. Determined to help his family, Blynn organizes his younger siblings in an effort to finish the song. Their attempts lead them to discover that a verse they need was originally composed by an ancient Jewish Rabbi living in Germany during the First Crusade. As the family learns of their eldest brother’s death in the war, Blynn ultimately understands the meaning of divine love.
