A drive-by shooting in Venice, California, changes the lives of five people forever. States of Grace tells the story of a homeless street preacher, Louis, a gang banger, Carl, an aspiring actress, Holly, and two young missionaries, Lozano and Farrell, in what critics have hailed as one of the finest films of the year and one of the best Christian-themed films ever made.

Summary:
This is an ensemble piece that follows the intersecting lives of various people in modern Los Angeles. LDS missionaries Elders Lozano and Farrell are present at a gang shooting where Lozano saves the life of a young man named Carl. After recovering, he begins investigating the gospel and is eventually baptized. Meanwhile, the Elders take in a middle aged street preacher named Louis and befriend their next-door neighbor Holly, a struggling actress who has been cast off by her family for appearing in a pornographic film. After being confirmed a member of the Church, Carl is pulled back into the vortex of gang violence by the murder of his younger brother, and soon every character is forced to evaluate his or her commitment to Christ and, eventually, learn to accept Christ's atoning sacrifice.
