🎬 A Timeless Story, Reimagined

In this modern retelling:

• Ruth “Moably” (played by Serayah) is a young Atlanta hip-hop star whose promising career is cut short by personal tragedy. Seeking healing, she moves to rural Tennessee to care for Naomi (played by Phylicia Rashad), the mother of her late boyfriend.

• There, Ruth finds work in a vineyard and encounters Boaz (Tyler Lepley), a kind and faithful man whose quiet strength draws her into a love rooted in grace, trust, and destiny.

• The film blends themes of grief, redemption, and divine timing into a touching romance designed to resonate with modern audiences.

The cast also features Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Jermaine Dupri, Lecrae, Gregalan Williams, Nijah Brenea, Walnette Santiago, James Lee Thomas, Christopher Broughton, and Chaundre Hall-Broomfield.

Babyface contributes original music, while Serayah performs an original song for the film—tying Ruth’s past as a musician to her new journey of healing.
