The minister of a once vibrant church is the sole holdout in a decaying Philadelphia neighborhood marked for gentrification. The preacher's resolve to preserve his family's evangelical legacy dissolves under pressure from his status-seeking wife and greedy church leaders. Soon, the spirits of founding congregational members begin to make their displeasure known.
