Steve Lund swindles the Black community church out of $50,000 it doesn't have, threatening it with extinction. Pastor Jonathan Langdon assembles a team of congregants to break into Lund's office and take back the cash he must be storing in a safe.
It's a pleasantly conceived and performed caper film. Although it rarely reaches any heights of hilarity, there are some good performances, particularly Dalmar Abuzeid as a reformed criminal who winds up being the brains of the operation. There's some moral ambiguity that disturbed me in the ending, but given the thesis of this television movie, some of that was inevitable.
