Show Synopsis

Bobby lives with his maternal grandmother, Martha, in Waylon, Texas, where not much goes on, and work is hard to come by. Even after he’d grown and moved away, Bobby would return to Martha after each financial failure and drunken stupor. But it was always a tough living arrangement since Martha maintained incredible optimism and total belief in God, and Bobby, who rejected religion, was always pessimistic and remained angry over his parents’ death. After taking a part-time job as a guard—and getting fired from it—Bobby challenges Martha to a duel: If God produces a miracle in twenty-four hours, he will change his ways; if not, Martha must give up religion.
