Electric Jesus

It's the summer of 1986. Erik (Andrew Eakle) is the shy, quiet type -- but far more passionate than most teenagers when it comes to God and rock-n-roll. His dream comes true when he is asked to run sound for his favorite band, 316 -- a Christian hair metal band made up of older kids from his church.

After a blistering performance at a church camp talent show, 316 is introduced to a flashy Christian Rock promoter with a plan. Glad-handing, Lord-loving Skip Wick (Brian Baumgartner) wants to take the band on the road -- promising the boys a jam-packed summer of paid Christian rock gigs and a shot at making a real record in Nashville. But most importantly, Skip's offer represents the ultimate chance to "make Jesus famous."

Complications arise when a woebegone pastor's (Judd Nelson) daughter, 16 year-old Sarah (Shannon Hutchinson), stows herself away in the band's RV after a church performance in Alabama. Once discovered, Skip must keep recalcitrant Sarah along for the next couple of weeks on the road -- which turns out to be plenty of time for the talented girl to emerge as the band's muse, head-turning opening act, and Erik's first love.
