Despite his growing distance from God, twenty-seven-year-old David Forester pastors a thriving church. But his sexual frustration leads him to pursue his church's teenage organist and escalates to sexual excesses with parishioner Ruth Dubois. After his wife exhibits a sudden interest in sex, Reverend Forester tries to end his extramarital liaisons, but Ruth plans to destroy his marriage in order to maintain her hold over him. She then murders a mob boss and steals a fortune to fund the preacher's career in evangelism.
Unfortunately for the reverend, the mob comes after its money, leading to torture, more murder, and flight from prosecution. When a dogged detective tracks Reverend Forester and brings him back to face a double-murder trial, the ever-salacious man of God seduces his beautiful public defender, a twenty-nine-year-old virgin who is tired of the distinction. But will Reverend Forester's final solution be faith-based or lust-driven?
