SHA'KERT: END OF NIGHT

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SAVE YOUR CHILD?

Greg and Lou learn that their daughter has a terminal illness. In their desperation, they make a deal from which there is no return. When their crimes are exposed, their world is turned upside down.

 

Henry wants nothing more than to leave his Amish community behind, even as their land is under threat; their traditions under fire; and their faith faces its greatest test. But his mother is his world - where she goes, so too will he.

 

Circumstances bring these two worlds together - a family banished to the edge of the galaxy; a community praying for a new life and the re-orientation of their destiny.

 

But when fate abandons them to an uncharted, inhospitable planet, some struggle for survival while others embrace the opportunity to explore this strange new world. Relationships are tested, beliefs are tried and emotions are pushed to the limit.

Yet Sha'Kert has a place for all.

The land was not told and the sky's an unbeliever...

To the end of the morning the ranges crush closer, change the funnel to a gash, a two-hundred-meter-wide strip of rock and snow. Sheer cliffs block the feeble sun, the wraith wind screams and clutches my clothes, my matted hair flails my cheeks raw. Soil hardens to rock, snow to ice, flat boulders to mounds of stone; some razor sharp, some overhang ice-laden and threaten to crash down at an instant. We stumble on, slip and fall to deepen old wounds and collect new ones, hold on to each other as we plod or crawl into the teeth of the gale. I see a rise ahead, a point where the valley stops, the walls to either side perhaps fifty meters apart. I slap Henry on the chest and point. Two, maybe three hours.
