This movie focuses on a couple of families, and a couple of songs. It is about the musical group Mercy Me. The families are first Tim and Hilary Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia and Arielle Kibbel), Tim is the opening act for the band Mercy Me, and he has cancer. He wants to write a song that makes a difference. The second family is Bart and Shannon Millard (John Michael Finley and Sophie Skelton). Bart is lead singer for Mercy Me. His son Sam (Sammy Dell) has diabetes. He comes on the trip with his dad, and starts performing with Tim. Sam doesn't take care of his sugar numbers and has a relapse, and does Tim with his cancer. Bart starts taking seriously Tim's desire to write a song and asking Bart to finish it.
The two songs are very similar and both based on the hymn "It Is Well with my Soul." The first song is "Make it Well." The second song is the new song written by Tim and Bart, which they sing for the first time at a concert. Sam sings, and Tim is in the audience having gotten out of the hospital. "Even If" proclaims you will be my God even if things do not go right.
I enjoyed this show of faith. The music is great as is the message. Tim does not succumb to his cancer and he and his wife now have four kids. Sam and Bart continued their careers and sometimes sing together.
