    The young “Violet” (Didi Conn) was involved in an accident when she was younger and she is determined to eradicate the scar it has left on her face and make herself “pretty”. To that end, she has been captivated by a television evangelist who promotes the healing powers of the Lord, so she sets off on the long trip from her home to his church in Tulsa. Along the way, she encounters two soldiers and perhaps it is “Monty” (Patrick Dollaghan) and his friend “Flick” (Rodney Saulsberry) who might actually be a better conduit for her to realise that being “pretty” is much more than just what a person...
