Synopsis

In a bold departure from tradition, the early Sunday evening religious slot on ITV comes alive with a powerful series of five contemporary plays that breathe new life into the timeless parables of the gospels. Each story unfolds with raw emotion and striking realism, inviting viewers to experience these ancient lessons through the lens of modern life.

Featuring compelling performances from Jack Smethurst, Richard Vernon, and Richard Hope, the series challenges and inspires, weaving faith and humanity into a tapestry that resonates deeply with the struggles and hopes of today. This is not just a retelling—it’s a profound exploration of morality, redemption, and the enduring power of storytelling.
