The movie focuses on the life of a young man named Jimmy who returns home for his best friend’s funeral. While at home, he is forced to face his past, consisting of an embarrassing change from local youth pastor to college partier. While dealing with other issues, he comes to his own realization and need for mercy and forgiveness, no matter how far he’s fallen from the Lord.
The film also deals with controversial issues such as abortion, homosexuality, and premarital sex, as well as the true meaning of faith.
“Hidden Secrets is a movie for everyone … who needs forgiveness,” said Tom Saab, president of Christian Film Festivals of America, in a review. “That means it’s a movie for everyone!”
The cast is filled with many notable stars including John Schneider from the acclaimed Smallville television series, Tracy Melchior from the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, and Christian recording artist Rachel Lampa.
The movie also includes music from Lampa as well as Dove-award winners Building 429.
