The Story

What would it be like to defend your religion in court?  Or stand up
against all the people you grew up with?

That is what "Day of Defense" becomes as two Mormon Missionaries enter a small town in the mid-west that is a God fearing, family oriented, Christian believing utopia. One draw back: this town has its religions, and whether you are Mormon, Muslim, or Hare Chrishna, you have to get a permit to publicly preach. It's the law.

Step into Marysville in Clearwater County.

Thomas Bryant and James Radner are best friends. They grew up together, they got married while at college, and they are both attorneys. Thomas is the county Public Defender, James is Prosecuting Attorney. They don't hold trials, they plea bargain every case. But this time Thomas is faced with an overwhelming dilemma. He is ordered to defend two Mormon Missionaries in a trial that will challenge the very fabric of this small rural town. And Thomas is Catholic.

"Day of Defense" is a dramatic roller coaster ride as each aspect of life and belief is artistically sculpted in a heartwarming tale of one couples struggle with pride, courage, and God.
