When her father unexpectedly falls terminally ill, exotic dancer Jessica "Jesse" Brown returns home for the first time in more than a decade. Her father's dying wish - that she take over as head of Mount Olive Baptist Church - turns her life and her family's life upside down.

Set in urban Chicago, these four stories are woven together to create an inspiring tale of the hard work it takes to achieve one's dreams.
