Inspired by the Old Testament's "Song of Solomon," the film follows the life of a bluegrass singer (Alan Powell) whose father's (Aaron Benward's) music career was ruined by the temptations of the world. Pushed by his greedy talent agent, the son aims for wealth and stardom, but also begins to yield to temptations and he and his wife (Ali Faulkner) endure years of emotional frenzy. Also with Danny Vinson and Caitlin Nicol-Thomas. Directed by Richard Ramsey. [1:52]

Stay away from another man's wife."
► A man tells a woman that he wants to build a chapel in order to marry her and she says that she can't wait that long; the camera cuts to their outdoor wedding and cuts again to a darkened bedroom with red rose petals scattered across a bed before we see a man and a woman standing in a very dark hallway as they embrace and kiss (sex is implied); we then see the couple in bed together in the morning as he leans over and kisses her on the cheek.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man answers the phone and the camera cuts to a woman sitting on a floor, crying on the phone while in a fuzzy background shot behind her head we see a man is hanging from a doorway with his feet off the floor, an apparent suicide; we do not see the neck or head, or hear anything about the incident. A woman walks into the bathroom and finds her boyfriend with his wrist and forearm covered in blood in an apparent suicide attempt; she pulls him over the side of the tub and turns on the shower and he dreams he is running, falling onto a wooden floor in a half-built chapel and confronted by his father, who says, "Stop running"; the camera cuts to the injured man in a hospital bed with his forearm bandaged and his wife leaves the room after placing her wedding and engagement rings on the bedside table.

A man walks off stage several times when a woman backup musician plays a song he does not want to perform; he finally grabs her hard by the arm and forbids her to play or sing it, but she breaks away and begins singing alone into a microphone; he loudly crushes the mike and the amplifier, storms off stage into the dressing room where he breaks more equipment while the crowd boos loudly and the woman enters the dressing room, screaming and hitting him in the chest; their agent enters, shouts at both of them and fires the woman. A woman argues briefly with her husband, but cries in joy as he performs a religious song on stage.
► A woman shows up at a man's house and confronts his wife, who shouts at her husband to get out. A man argues loudly several times with his agent about being on the road too often and playing too many engagements; the agent splutters (we see spit flying), "I'll sue you!" and the man says, "It's only money" and quits the music business.
