Rev. Ross Philips is sent to the remote Yorkshire village of Adlington to substitute for Vicar Wrenfield, who is on vacation for his health.

The peace he finds there is shattered when he stumbles upon an international conspiracy that threatens the village—and he must also confront hidden facts about his own past that may hold the key to resolving the danger.
