Movie Synopsis/The UndershepherdA tale of two ministers, LC(Isaiah Washington) and Roland(Lammon Rucker), best friends, brothers in Christ, ambitious, up and coming ministers, paying their dues as humble servants in ministry.  They have each other’s backs as they work their way through the ranks at the First Baptist Church.  Serving under the leadership of Dr. Ezekial Canon (Bill Cobbs), the church’s well respected yet up in age pastor, the two each have dreams of one day becoming the eighty-year-old’s predecessor.  The feeble Dr. Canon stubbornly refuses to step-down, forcing the two young ministers to make pivotal decisions about their futures in ministry, decisions that will ultimately fray the fabric of their deeply woven friendship.  Witness the ascension of evil through LC’s eyes as politics, kickbacks, adultery and cult-like practices become the culture under his leadership.  Witness Roland’s struggle to plant an honest church and pious ministry, which ultimately drives LC further away, at a time when Roland needs him most.  Witness the impact their decisions have on the lives of the other church leaders, members of the congregation and the community.
