When her husband Billy is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe, her oldest friend. As Sam watches "Papa" Joe care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life's circumstances, the love of God is always reaching out to us.

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
A faith-based drama about redemption and renewal that is blessed with the saving graces of persuasive performances, handsome production values and some undeniably affecting moments of spiritual uplift.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
This inspirational drama, while trafficking in cliches, manages not to deliver its message too heavily.
-
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
Contrived and simplistic.
-
David Martindale, Dallas Morning News
Unconditional is a little movie with a big heart, a message film that doesn't taste like medicine.
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
If only McCorkle had a bit more, er, faith in his audience.
