Preston Owens, a Baptist minister, divorces his wife of twelve years not revealing to his congregation or family the true reason why. Soon after the divorce is finalized Preston weds Monique Cheri Anderson, a local news reporter and the speculation behind his actions leave the people to form their own opinions about his motives.

Feeling shunned, Preston and Cheri flee to another state in an effort to rebuild their lives together. But when Preston is asked to take a position as assistant pastor of a church, the need for the past to be revealed becomes more important than the people the secret protects.
