FILMS | NOCTURNAL AGONY
Inspired by a true story, Nocturnal Agony is the tale of two women, “Lois” (Vernee Watson) a renowned evangelist who is excitedly preparing for her retirement and her highly successful, upper middle class daughter, “Patty” (Deidra LaWan Starnes). By all accounts, Patty has it all: a successful career, a loving and supportive husband, a beautiful young daughter, an active church life and a gorgeous home in the suburbs. But something is eerily wrong and it all comes to a head when Patty’s seemingly perfect world turns upside down. This traumatic event uncovers years of hidden family secrets and forces Patty and Lois into a painful examination of their lives, their relationship with each other, and their faith in God.
