Description: Is it possible to hold onto hope when you lose everything else? Tariq Abbassi, hospitalized and disoriented, has trouble reconciling the life he imagined with the one that greets him upon waking. Struggling to face the dark truth, no matter the cost, he must sift through his confused memories to resolve how he got here. Told in searing flashbacks, The Offering describes the epic rise and tragic fall of a man whose artistic aspirations blind him to the people who love him most - his wife and two sons. But when his creative and professional rage drive his family away, the separation sets off a chain reaction of misfortunes that bury Tariq under an unspeakable weight of tragedy. A stunning portrait of loss, hope, and the sometimes insurmountable obstacles we face on the road to redemption, The Offering is powerful testament that there is beauty in everything - even in that which destroys us.
