When a teen’s plan to end his life is interrupted by a mysterious stranger, he finds an unlikely mentor and uncovers the dark secret motives of the town’s newest celebrity. The show centers around a high-school teacher gone missing and the family of Detective Ethan James, whose son, unbeknownst to him, is considering suicide to escape the pain from the loss of his mother. All the while, a small Texas town is distracted and deceived by the arrival of world-renowned, best-selling author, and thought leader, Redmond Quinn. Breaking Strongholds addresses teen suicide, depression, abandonment, spiritual darkness, and more. Like a modern-day parable, each episode creatively weaves God’s Truths into the storyline pointing to Jesus, the only One capable of truly breaking strongholds.
