As Oklahoma gets ready to execute Emmanuel Littlejohn, spiritual advisor Jeff Hood arrives with a nearly impossible job. He’s there to try to stop the execution, but also to help Littlejohn and his family prepare for it if he can’t.

Over the course of five days, Hood spends time with Littlejohn and his family while fighting to convince the state to change course. It’s a deeply personal look at faith, family, and what it means to stand beside someone when the clock is running out. In the shadow of an execution, those things suddenly take on a whole different meaning.
