The story centers on Will Hawkins (Quinn), a troubled teenager whose recent run-in with the law puts him at an important crossroads; go to juvenile hall or attend a Christian summer camp.

The film is being financed and executive produced by Vicky Patel. Steve Barnett, Alan Powell, and Gabriel Vasquez are producing. WIT Media's Corby Pons is co-executive producing and Bailee Madison is associate producing.
"The exceptional acting combined with energetic musical and dance numbers are beyond what we imagined," says Vasquez. "The story is for the entire family and will visibly move audiences through tears and laughter and we are excited to bring this to theaters in 2020."
"We have assembled an incredible group of industry talent who have poured their heart into bringing to life what will be the first faith and family musical," says Barnett. "There has never been a better time for this film and we are proud of what this team has achieved."
Filmed on location at Camp Widjiwagan in Nashville, Tennessee, "A WEEK AWAY" includes reimagined cast recordings of some of the greatest Christians songs by artists such as Amy Grant, for King and Country, Michael W. Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman.
