β¦ Synopsis
Pastor Ivan James, haunted by his fathers sexual deviance, wrestles with a generational curse passed from father to son. His addiction to sex makes him feel unworthy of Gods anointing. Ivan, or Ivy, moves his family back to his hometown of Richmond, Virginia, the place he left as a rolling stone, to become the pastor of Mt. Emanuel Ministries. His spirit is willing to live right, but his flesh is weak as he travels down the road to temptation and a past that must be dealt with. Malcolm Stewart, separated from his wife of several years, struggles to survive emotionally and spiritually. His wife Telese and their two children are his world, but years of battling a harsh temper and taking his anger out on Telese must end. Desperate to reconcile, Malcolm seeks counseling through anger management classes as well as Christian mentoring to overcome his weaknesses. Everywhere he turns, his felony drug charge and back child support dog his steps to haunt him, along with his money-hungry ex-wife who constantly demands more. But Malcolms encounter with two new friends a mentor named Steven and a female deacon named Vanessa - changes his perspective, and his journey takes an unexpected direction. Raymond Durrant, a handsome, well-educated, business professional, is driven by money and success. Nothing in this world can replace the heady power of wealth and status. His desire to excel at his game is within reach - especially if his beautiful but witchy supervisor Amanda has anything to do with it. Their affair nearly costs him his family, and she wont let go. Although Raymonds wife Donae forgives the infidelity, Amanda will stop at nothing to get Raymond back in her bed. Raymond is forced to choose between success and family because he cannot have both.
