Plot

After being manipulated into escaping from prison, a born-again ex-felon is forced to confront his vengeful younger brother, who is now the self-centered police chief of their hometown, in a quest to discover the meaning of forgiveness.

Lentil Soup is a faith-based Christian film about two brothers on opposite sides of the law who, unfortunately, become bitter enemies. Thomas, a successful yet self-centered young police chief, is fueled by an unquenchable quest for vengeance whereas his older brother Paul, a born again believer serving a life sentence in prison, is forced to confront the tyranny of his manipulative brother after being coaxed into foolishly escaping from custody. Both men are compelled to face their past as well as their inevitable future in this very powerful story about the genuine power of forgiveness and redemption.—Jackie S. Karch

During the wake of their mother's death, two brothers, one a born-again Christian who is serving a life sentence in prison, and the other, a newly appointed police chief of their small hometown and someone who struggles with his faith, uncover a profound family secret, after the eldest brother is lured by temptation and coincidentally escapes from custody, that could sever what remains of their broken relationship or could very well be the catalyst that restores it. This is a very powerful story of redemption and forgiveness.—Jackie S. Karch
