Johnny Hendricks, son and grandson of traditional Christian pastors in Grand Rapids, graduates from college and gets the calling to create a youth mission in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Soon after he arrives, he finds himself embroiled in a controversy dividing the city of Hancock right down the middle, and he is the cause. Problems that have been dormant for decades are suddenly brought to the surface, and this enthusiastic young man with no experience, a big smile, and a strong faith in God, somehow must resolve situations that have nothing to do with a youth mission.
Throw in an angry black bear, a kidnapping, a prison break, and a Phannakuchha, and you have some of what's going on in Keweenaw Grace.
