If you loved the uplifting, faith‑filled marathon of Overcomer, you’ll find a fresh quartet of stories that run parallel to its core of mentorship, perseverance, and personal triumph. Tim Mielants’ Steve thrusts viewers into a single, tension‑filled day at a reform school, where a dedicated headteacher battles institutional rigidity to guide troubled youths toward redemption.
