Synopsis
8 year-old Tyler Doherty (Tanner Maguire) has a loving family and supportive community, and courageously faces his daily battle against cancer. Tyler's faith in God helps him on a daily basis as his prayers take on the form of letters and emails.
The letters end up with postman Brady McDaniels (Jeffrey S S Johnson) who's at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused over what to do with the letters, but gradually begins to form a friendship with the Doherty family who are trying to stay strong for Tyler.
Moved by Tyler's courage, Brady realizes what he must do with the letters...
Inspired by a true story, LETTERS TO GOD is an intimate, moving and often funny story about the galvanizing effect one child's belief can have on his family, friends and community.
