Curtis Black, formerly a celebrated preacher who admitted past wickedness, returns to his congregation, determined to stay on the good path and honor his promise to his wife, Charlotte.

Meanwhile, the interim pastor who filled Curtis’s seat during a book tour threatens to blackmail him for a position he has grown to cherish. Compounding the turmoil, an individual claiming to be the father of Charlotte’s only son emerges, threatening to expose hidden deeds of the last thirteen years.
