The movie is adapted from a novel by Reshonda Tate Billingsley and follows the story of the St. James family. The matriarch of the family, Mrs. St. James, played by Darlene Duncan, is a devout churchgoer who is well-respected in the community for her strong religious beliefs. She has three children: David, Cynthia, and Terrence, who all have their own set of problems.
