Plot[edit]
Meghan Doherty (played by Jenn Gotzon) is a young, talented executive who neglects her mother and close friends to focus on one goal making money. After closing a multimillion-dollar deal Meghan is asked by Mr. Randolph Whitaker (Daniel Hugh Kelly) (her boss/CEO) to close a deal of a lifetime. She's taking her talent to the Mojave Desert in hopes of getting a Christian land owner (Michael Toland) to turn over his land before auction. With a 100 million dollar potential deal looming, there is nothing that will stand in the way of her getting what she needs to further her career. Not even God or a boy (Gib Gerard)? Over a period of 6 days Meghan goes through spiritual transformation (fish out of water) calling on her favorite investor to help save the Land.
