Global R&B superstar Toni Braxton soared to the top of the charts with hits like "Un-Break My Heart," "Breathe Again" and "Another Sad Love Song." But the Maryland native's gospel roots run deep. Now, the minister's daughter is portraying a down home gospel singer in Lifetime's new film, "Twist of Faith."

According to the network, the interfaith love story tells the tale of Jacob Fisher (David Julian Hirsch), an Orthodox Jewish Cantor and amateur songwriter from Brooklyn, New York and Nina (Toni Braxton), a single mom who is also the lead singer of a small gospel choir.
