Plot

In the heart of the corporate jungle thrives Tom Hawkins, a single father and a formidable executive who has tirelessly scaled the heights of a high-powered career. His world, however, shatters into a million shards during a seemingly ordinary weekend trip to the mall when his beloved son is kidnapped and cruelly slain in a chilling, ritualistic murder. The authorities apprehend a suspect, a confessed kidnapper, but the truth of the horrific murder remains veiled in a shroud of mystery. Driven by a consuming desire for revenge, Tom embarks on a relentless quest for justice. A brutal courtroom assault on the suspect lands him under the scrutiny of psychological assessments and mandatory therapy. In this crucible of torment, his deep-seated religious faith becomes his only solace, guiding him through a labyrinth of unexpected twists. As Tom grapples with the dilemma of vengeance versus the hollow emptiness of his shattered life, he is propelled towards a shocking revelation - the improbable identity of his son's killer. What unfolds next is beyond human control, a testament to the divine intervention of a higher power. This compelling tale of loss, retribution, faith, and redemption, "The Word" (2013) weaves a narrative that explores whether the path of violence is indeed the right choice, and how, in the end, only the divine has the final say.
