While her friend June (Christine Elise McCarthy) struggles with an internet porn scheme to make extra money. 'What I Believe' focuses on a man (Kevin Rahm) who seeks the help of a Christian Scientist (Wil Love) to heal his back pain and explain the Big Foot that chased him down the mountainside.

He is sidetracked by his Amish neighbor (Dana Delany), who smokes, drinks, swears, and watches his TV.
