The Story

Derek Taylor (played by Ben Davies) was living a normal life. He had a job, a beautiful wife, a happy marriage, and a wonderful kid. . . or so it seemed. Suddenly, as viewers see in the film Vindication, Derek Taylor was in the midst of a criminal investigation involving his relationship with the very beautiful young woman Rebecca Jennings (played by Sonya Davis). Unsure of what the detectives want to hear, or how to get out of the mess he seems to have fallen into, Derek has one alibi; he experienced a spiritual awakening in the middle of the night... the same night as the crime. But his alibi seems just a bit too convenient for his circumstances, and the detectives are simply not buying it. Hoping to trap him in a lie, the police continue the investigation. They tear his alibi apart, doing their very best to find each and every hole in Derek Taylor's story.

As Derek's story spins out; his failing marriage with his wife Jamie Taylor (played by Kat Steffens), the whirlwind affair; it seems like his alibi is riddled with holes... or is it? Was he really "just friends" with Rebecca Jennings? Was his marriage really failing? Did he have a spiritual awakening? Is he innocent or do the holes in Derek Taylor's alibi place the guilt upon his head? Is Derek Taylor guilty?̴Ì_

Living In A Lie?

The film Vindication is more than a story of a man with a poor alibi caught in the crossfire of a criminal investigation. It is a look at the fight every Christian engages in every day; the battle to live according to God's word and the battle to live according to our own worldly desires. As Derek fights this battle, viewers will be reminded of the importance and reward for living according to God's word. As viewers watch Vindication, however, they will be reminded that no matter how far we fall God is always willing to receive us back into his grace. As Derek struggles to come to terms with his sin, his need for reconciliation with his wife and child, and the consequences for his choices, viewers will be reminded of the importance of repentance. Vindication is a powerful reminder of the power of forgiveness; whether that forgiveness comes from God, our friends, or our families. The film Vindication is more than a film, it is full of reminders and encouragements that though we fall God will pick us back up.
