Lionsgate has set a Fall release date for its next drama Ordinary Angels starring Hilary Swank and Alan Ritchson. The movie is helmed by The Unbreakable Boy director Jon Gunn, and based on a true story billed as an “inspiring tale of faith, everyday miracles, and ordinary angels.” The studio also released new images from the upcoming movie, giving us a good look at the leading actors as well as the hopeful somber nature of the movie.

The feature follows a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky, Sharon Steves, who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters, Ed Schmitt. As his youngest daughter waits for a liver transplant, Sharon sets her mind to helping the family and goes all out for it.
