Saved

by Doug Magee

SAVED is the hilarious, high-spritied story of Frank Tripping, a Midwestern family man and a conservative Christian, who comes to suspect his new next door neighbors are drug dealers. Frank, living in an evangelical bubble in the mid-2000's, doesn't know much about this category, "drugs" but he sees it as his duty to investigate. In doing so he steps out of his church-based world, leaps over the cultural divide and finds the outside world not what he was told it was. A satire that doesn't stray too far afield from reality, SAVED takes place in the years just before evangelicals went gaga over MAGA. Frank Tripping's journey, a heart-warming hoot, is the perfect antidote for our divided times.
