Details

A story from the Harlem gospel community. Sister Margaret has devoted her life to the Lord. For ten years she has run a thriving gospel-singing congregation. Her past comes back to haunt her when husband Luke, a burnt-out jazz musician, returns, seeking love and redemption. His arrival confuses their son David, who craves the musical inspiration and support that his mother does not provide.
