The Falls: Covenant of Grace (2016)

In the poignant final act of the Falls trilogy, "The Falls: Covenant of Grace" (2016), we delve back into the lives of former Mormon missionaries, Chris and RJ, who find themselves entwined in a nuanced dance of love and faith six years after their forbidden affection first blossomed. Living a life of duality, Chris, now divorced and a devoted father to his young daughter Kaylee, maintains his allegiance to the LDS church in Salt Lake City. In contrast, RJ has carved out a niche for himself as a successful writer in Portland, distancing himself from the church that marked their love as sinful. Their paths converge when Chris embarks on a weekend expedition to Portland, setting the stage for their relationship to bloom afresh. However, their budding romance faces a jarring hiccup when the LDS church announces a prohibition on baptisms for children of same-sex couples. The announcement creates a chasm between the two, stirring a cauldron of unresolved feelings and faith-related dilemmas. Despite RJ yearning for a clean break from the Church, Chris clings to his faith, leaving their relationship teetering on the brink of uncertainty. The sudden death of Chris's mother plunges him into mourning, compelling RJ to rush to his side in Salt Lake City. Chris's father, Noah Merrill, a stern Apostle who has always condemned same-sex relationships, witnesses the profound bond between the two men, thawing his icy prejudice. Inspired by their love, Noah ventures to challenge the Quorum's stance on same-sex relationships, but his attempts are futile. Back in Portland, a conflicted RJ grapples with his emotions towards Chris and the Church. The camaraderie of his friends, Adina, Sheris, and Curtis, infuses him with a newfound perspective on his priorities. As the Church remains unyielding, Chris and RJ find themselves at a crossroads, forced to make choices that will forever change the course of their lives. This captivating tale deftly explores the intersection of faith, love, and personal conviction, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats until the very end.
