“A groundbreaking, fast-paced action adventure with computer-generated images rivaling anything out of Hollywood.” – The Baptist Press
The leading mercenary for the British East India Company, Will Reynolds, has been double-crossed and now is on the run in the American colonies. Working to redeem his name and win back the woman with whom he’s never been fully truthful, Will takes on a new mask in hopes of thwarting his former employer. As his past life closes in on him, Will somehow must gain the trust and help of his beloved Charlotte—as well as Ben Franklin—while he races time to defuse a plot of historical proportions. Beyond the Mask is a revolutionary new family film that brings history to life in a faith-filled adventure celebrating grace, liberty and the true freedom that can only be found in Christ.
