The minister of a as soon as vibrant, landmark Baptist church, now struggling to outlive, is the only real hold-out in a decaying Philadelphia neighborhood earmarked for gentrification. However finally, the preacher’s steely resolve to protect his household’s evangelical legacy in the neighborhood and dwindling congregation dissolves underneath relentless strain from his status-seeking spouse and grasping church leaders—Lured by money bribes and guarantees from unscrupulous builders to determine a flashy “mega-ministry” elsewhere. Quickly, the spirits of founding congregational members – stirred from the disquiet of their graves by the remorseless trespasses of one other era – start to make their displeasure identified. Because the sinners – abruptly and inexplicably sure inside the confines of the sanctuary – fall prey, they have to all re-examine their decisions and bow to the need of the covenant … solely to disclose the righteous amongst them.
