Grace
All Christians are blessed by the grace of God—and in some cases, their evils are sanctioned. Devoted churchgoers Grace and her mother live together. Out of Christian charity, they often take in teenagers without parental care. Their latest ward is Ching Yi, a young girl suffering from domestic violence. Brought into their home by Pastor Leung, Ching Yi is treated like a sibling by Grace, who enthusiastically shares her faith to the aloof house guest. Grace’s faith is shaken, however, when she accidentally discovers a secret between Ching Yi and Pastor Leung. When the church disguises vile and unspeakable deeds as the will of God, Grace decides to take matters into her own hands.
