Making mistakes and redeeming oneself marks growth. Philena Shiloh, a na? African American woman, learns the hard way that growth generates both pain and reward. An unplanned pregnancy forces Philena's best friend, Rachel, to reveal that Darrel lingers unhappily in his marriage to Janet James. During a normal Sunday morning worship service, more secrets unfold. While Darrel balances Janet, Philena and old flame Regina Snow, who also happens to be the mother of his five year old son Darrel Jr., his friend Silas Pointer struggles with his sexuality while his girlfriend, Brenda Washington, uncovers troubling information about the people she thought she knew best. Add in the Reverend Josiah Turner's dark secret that eventually turns the congregation on its head, and the script becomes a recipe for redemption.
