First Sunday

In the 2008 comedy-crime-drama First Sunday, the story revolves around Durell and LeeJohn, two lovable but misguided friends who find themselves in a tight spot when a $17,000 debt looms over their heads. With Durell facing the heart-wrenching possibility of losing custody of his son, the duo hatches a harebrained plan to rob their local church, believing that a quick heist could solve all their problems. However, as the night unfolds, their ill-fated scheme leads to unexpected encounters and revelations that force them to confront their own moral compasses and the deeper meaning of community and redemption.
