Grace Unplugged 2013

Grace Unplugged is a heartfelt and inspirational film featuring Amanda Michalka as the ambitious 18-year-old Christian singer/songwriter, Grace Rose Trey. Gifted and beautiful, Grace feels restless, having only performed at her local church alongside her father, Johnny Trey, who is portrayed by Chris Ellis. Once a celebrated rock star with a Billboard number one hit two decades ago, Johnny has since found solace and purpose in his newfound faith, steering his family away from the shadows of the Hollywood Hills.

However, everything changes when Grace receives an unexpected opportunity in Los Angeles. With the help of Johnny’s former manager and producer, Frank Mossy Mostin played by Kevin Pollak, she secures a record deal that could catapult her into the limelight akin to pop sensations like Katy Perry. Eager to break free from her small-town roots, Grace decides to sever ties with her family and Christian community, embracing her dream of superstardom.

“I want to be where the people are,” echoes Grace’s desire for fame, leaving her parents bewildered and worried. As she navigates the treacherous waters of fame, will this journey lead her to reject the values she grew up with, or will it enable her to rediscover her faith? Grace Unplugged challenges the notion of sacrifice in the pursuit of dreams, and the struggle between faith and ambition becomes the crux of her story.
