The Genesis Code explores the relationship between faith and science, in the midst of a story of two college students. Kelsey and Logan play our two primary leads. Kerry is a college journalist seeking an interview with Blake, the college's newest and very popular hockey star. They start a relationship that is challenged by Blake’s mothers' illness and impending removal from life support, academic pressures and how the tall correlates with their faith. Blake and Kerry both struggle with reconciling their scientific studies with what's taught in the Bible. Is the six day story of Genesis true or is what science teaches us about creation true? The Genesis Code explores the idea that perhaps they are both true and science has "caught up with" the truth of the Bible.
