WITNESS INSECURITY
Witness Insecurity tells the story of Johnny Graham, a man trapped in a world of crime. Raised Christian, Johnny is adopted by the Torino mob family after his father dies taking a bullet for the boss, Maximo. Despite his marksman skills on the shooting range, Johnny manages to keep his hands clean from the family’s more serious crimes by keeping the books.
Johnny’s loyalty to his adoptive family finally reaches its limit when Anthony Torino, Max’s son, sets off to kill the District Attorney prosecuting him for the cold blooded murder of his cousin. After convincing Anthony to let him do the job, Johnny heads off to warn District Attorney Elizabeth Dalton about the Anthony’s intentions.
Johnny’s decision to finally do the right thing sets off a series of events that cause him to reevaluate his loyalties and the faith he abandoned after the death of his parents. Johnny’s plan to warn Elizabeth is thwarted when Anthony sends a couple of goons to make sure Johnny does the job.
The ensuing shootout leaves one of the goons dead, Elizabeth wounded and Johnny arrested. His life continues to parallel that of Moses after Johnny rolls on the Anthony and enters the exile of the Witness Protection Program as a sheep farmer.
Later, he’s forced back into action to once again try to save Elizabeth when the Torinos track them down. Though convinced he’s been on his own throughout the entire ordeal, following a final confrontation with his family turned enemy, Johnny realizes that God has been guiding him all along and that redemption is a beautiful thing.
