The consequences of one's misdoings are never restricted to the wrongdoer, as seen in the life of the Swank family. Tom Swank's evil deeds and "wandering ways" brought heartache to his wife and children, but it didn't stop there, nor even with his death. The pain and suffering followed them down through the years...Carrie, his children, grandchildren, and even some not related. Luke and Jessie finally made a life for themselves, yet things are happening that make them wonder...Are we still paying for his mistakes? Does someone have a vendetta against us because of his sins? Someone is setting fires and it seems the fires are meant as retribution against the Swank family. In the midst of all this, Samuel, Jessie's youngest son becomes ill and the diagnosis leaves them devastated. Is Jessie being punished for something he did that no one knows about, except Jessie and his mother? When will it all end? Will they ever have peace and happiness?
