For God and country or simply for God? - The United States is holding an election, and
control of the country may be determined by a single seat in the Buckle of the
Bible Belt: Tulsa, Oklahoma. In Tulsa, recovering methamphetamine addict Seth
Stevens is trying to hold his fragile life together. But his decision to
campaign for the church-supported candidate forces him to answer an age-old
question: what do you do when following your faith means breaking the law?
