Description

PK: the Laver Experience Six fully-committed Christians. Preachers Kids (PKs). Florida beach retreat. Sounds divine, right? Well...maybe not so much. Homeless at the age of 16, Kenya, daughter of Miami's esteemed Rev. Dr. Dwayne Forsythe, is rescued from the streets by Elkanah "Big Daddy" Adewune, sovereign king of the Miami drug world. Falling hard for El, Kenya is soon catapulted into a lavish lifestyle where she wants for nothing. Till a chance meeting with a Bishop on vacation hundreds of miles from home confirms to Kenya that her new 'savior' is sliding headlong into a dark place and unless she gets away her very life will be in danger. When Elkanah is unwilling to let go, Kenya, praying for a miracle receives an unlikely one in hand-crafted cowboy boots and a bad attitude. Unity Broadcasting Network (UBN), the largest Christian television station in the country is struggling to reach youth. In response, Dr. Brandon Carter, UBN psychologist and youth minister issues an invitation to PKs from across the country to be trained as an elite UBN youth ministry team. Out of hundreds of applications, six delegates are selected for a summer long Florida retreat; Gabriella a national recording artist from Nashville, Eric & Erica twins from LA, Colin, flamboyant actor from New York, Galen, the cowboy from Houston and Kenya, the tough girl from Miami. Not even twenty years of youth ministry could have prepared the Doc and his small staff of ministers for what unfolds as these six young people's lives overlap, collide and become inextricably intertwined as they are tried, tempted and trained at the brazen laver - where priests are prepared to serve.
