When college-student Simone Burner (Brandy Allison) is accused of murdering the man who assaulted her, she seeks out the help of attorney Jack Evans (Erik Estrada CHiPs) to prove her innocence. A ruthless and corrupt prosecutor engages her in a trial that brings the past she's longed to escape to the forefront of her defense. "Virtuous" is a family friendly film created to inspire and ignite women to live out the principles of Proverbs 31, with non-negotiable convictions of faith, beauty, family and integrity. Featuring a female-led cast that includes Angelita Nelson (Courageous), Erin Bethea (Fireproof), Vanessa Ore (My Name is Paul) and American hero, Jessica Lynch, this film takes us on a journey through the battlefields of Afghanistan, to an American news studio, to a home for troubled girls, and a hometown church, while revealing God's transformative love and grace.
