In the aftermath of a huge scandal, Trinity Childs, the first lady of a prominent and respected Southern Baptist Mega Church attempts to help her pastor-husband, Lee-Curtis Childs, rebuild their now borderline non-existent congregation. They must however, reconcile their faith with their personal demons in order to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen.
