Edward and his wife Jean lose nearly everything, and are forced to relocate to a rundown family property in a small Texas town.

But Edward doesn’t trust Ray or the church - and in fact, Ray’s insistence that he and the church only want to help, no strings attached, threatens Edward’s belief the church is not what they claim to be.
