Hand to God

Hand to God is set in the devoutly religious and relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas

After the death of his father, meek teenager Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry

Jason's complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and his mother are thrown into upheaval when Jason's puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own

Can puppet Tyrone be possessed by Satan?

Will he lead them all into sin?

And will he reveal secrets best left unsaid?

Hand to God explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us
