Matthew Possell escapes from an abusive family situation and eventually rises to prominence within the New Jersey State Police. He and his team of forensic specialists, including his girlfriend, help in a string of high-profile cases.

Matthew is forced to confront his past when a young boy is raped back in his hometown. Matthew must not only help solve the case in which his stepfather is the lead suspect, but must also deal with the release from prison of two of his younger brothers whom he abandoned, Mark and Luke. His insane, bible-fanatical mother is no help, his estranged abusive father re-emerges, and he catches his girlfriend cheating on him with a rival detective. His brothers swear revenge for the abuse to their mother, by plotting to kill their stepfather, who they feel is responsible, not only for her mental state, but also for the rape of the young boy.

Matthew and his team continue to unravel the facts, and to pursue the truth from the torn pages of his mother’s diary. Yet, the DNA evidence continues not to add up, when they discover the biggest revelation of all. This discovery reveals a multitude of sins that threaten to engulf the entire Possell family, and the people that Matthew cares about the most.

In the same vein as Seven and The Usual Suspects, Say Your Prayers provides the classic story of the ultimate dysfunctional family, and how the sins of the mother and father are repeated with their sons. With great pacing and compelling characters, Say Your Prayers keeps the audience guessing at the identity of the perpetrator of these crimes.
