ABOUT THE FILM:
Mangus Spedgewick—a high school senior in Rivercity, Texas —hopes to fulfill a family tradition by playing the role of Jesus in his local annual production of “Jesus Christ Spectacular” (the poor man's version of “Jesus Christ Superstar”)…that is until a freak accident renders him legless. Shuttled off to live with his estranged mother in a trailer park, the senior finds new friendship with a quasi sibling and winds up playing the role after a series of strange events that also reunites his family.
