When she arrives, she's surprised to find that he has a houseguest, a stranger from her late grandmother's past, who is on a mission to find his murdered pastor brother's long-missing Bible, a treasured family heirloom passed down from slave times. Not only that, but he has a highly unorthodox request-a request that stirs up a hornet's nest of dark secrets about the Trudeaus. Amid the cultural uncertainties of 2017 America, as the town gets wind of the newcomer and his reason for being there, it becomes a cauldron of volatile emotions and fears-from those of a pining waitress at the local diner, to the passionate worshippers of a controversial megachurch.
