Synopsis
As a teenager, David Taylor (Boris Kodjoe) was studying to become a minister. However, after his mother suddenly dies and his pastor father (Clifton Powell) arrives late, he accuses his father of caring more about others than his mother. As a result he runs away and eventually becomes a hot young R&B performer and leads a very self-indulgent lifestyle. However, when his father becomes ill he returns home to find his father’s church in disarray with his former best friend (Idris Elba) in charge and seemingly caring more about his own image than the welfare of the church or its congregation. Now David must find a way to save the church as well as his own true faith.
