Sonny spent his life trying to be a good man, but beneath the virtue and the conviction that made him a successful preacher lie true human emotions — lust, desire and rage. A preacher whose honest conviction won him the respect of his town until one day he commits a crime of passion, he is forced to assume a new identity. Armed only with the unfaltering will to change, Sonny sets out on a road to redemption.
