However, along with Jed's mounting fame comes obstacles that threaten to destroy his marriage. And when temptation arrives in the form of young single female artist named Shelby who joins his tour, Jed must choose between a life of fame or his family in "The Song."
"We added Shelby Bale to the tour, we can play a lot more shows and they have a lot more money," Jed explains to his wife in the trailer.
"Do you need more money or more fans?," Rose asks.
Of all the faith-based films in theaters this year, "The Song" stands out with its modern-day adaptation of the life and writings of King Solomon, found in the biblical books, the Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes. The music-driven love story was shot on location in Nashville and Kentucky, which are both known for Americana music and family, which weigh heavily in "The Song." In a film that aims to strengthen couples and families, it also provides an uplifting message of hope for overcoming personal struggles and failures.
"I want a man who believes in something bigger than all of this," Rose says in the final scene of the trailer, which you can watch here:
