What It's About

Faith Under Fire

A modern retelling of Job's story — a good man who suffers without cause, tested at every level of his existence.

Chicago as Character

The city isn't backdrop — it's a living force that shapes Joe's journey, his temptations, and his ultimate reckoning.

Identity & Ownership

At its core, a story about what it means to hold onto who you are when the world conspires to take it from you.
