Synopsis:

​

Saved In The City is a series about four friends who are trying to navigate their lives with Godly morals and standards, while experiencing real life situations that would cause anyone to forsake what they’ve learned, and go straight for what feels right, even if it means doing what some would call the “unthinkable.” Saved in the City takes place in Atlanta, Georgia and tackles issues that most Christians deal with within the African American community. Though the series is not a religious program by a long shot, it touches on how spirituality and religion play major roles in how people live their lives, balance their lives, conform their lives, and the struggle that lies within.
