One man's promise to God becomes his torment. When Fr. Dan, a charismatic priest starts his first assignment at St. Francis, he helps to transform a tired, complacent parish into one of renewed faith and hope. He's loved by the parishioners and knows he is following the right path. Still, there is something missing from his life, something he can't place until a beautiful war widow arrives from Alabama. Lucy captivates him and steals his heart. Though there's been a hint from the Vatican for decades that someday priests will be allowed to marry, Fr. Dan doesn't believe it will happen in his lifetime. So he's left with a painful choice. Does he choose to love Lucy from afar or walk away from his commitment to God and the Catholic Church?
