Plot

Grace Trey is an 18-year-old Christian teenager with religious parents who take her to youth group and church every Sunday. Grace’s father, Johnny, does not let her play and sing her own way when she is anywhere. Johnny is strict about his religion and only wants Grace to sing religious songs, but Grace thinks otherwise. During church one day, Grace decides to add her own touch to a song. This begins a disagreement between Grace, who wants to focus on being a singer and songwriter, and her parents, who want Grace to go to college and get an education. Grace decides to leave home to follow her dream. This upsets Johnny, who is afraid that Grace will get hurt. Grace’s mother, Michelle, convinces Johnny to let Grace find out on her own, which Johnny reluctantly agrees to.

Grace meets up with Johnny’s ex-producer, and her star soon begins to rise, with her first concert being a success. After meeting her favorite female singer, Renae Taylor, Grace gets asked out by a movie star and overhears his conversation on the phone. Grace struggles to comprehend what he says on it, holding in the information from her favorite singer and the movie star. People want to hear Grace’s next song, which she struggles with writing, and after overhearing her stylist’s conversation in the bathroom, she breaks down in her apartment. Quentin, an intern, comes to Grace’s door and offers her dinner at his house with his family.

After a conversation with Quentin on the beach, Grace leaves a note for her producer, saying that she is going to leave. She goes home to her family and her church, who starts crying and welcome her with open arms. Two years later, Grace is 20 years old and is invited to sing at a concert hosted by Chris Tomlin. She is married to Quentin, and the film ends with her singing with Johnny at a Chris Tomlin concert.
