When Pastor Dave Benson is on hand to comfort Allison Rose Morgan after the unwed mother gives up her newborn daughter Catherine without having seen or held her, she is grateful. Knowing the young woman’s parents would disown her, Pastor Dave arranged for her to give her baby up to childless couple Gus and Raven Whittacker. What Allie doesn’t yet know is that Pastor Dave has been in love with the beautiful, much-younger woman since he first set eyes on her.
When a sudden tragedy wakes Allie up from her denial, she realizes the terrible mistake she made in giving up her daughter. Now, she sees Dave as the key to her happiness: by pretending to share his love, she will be able to see her baby, and, with Dave’s unwitting help, kidnap her.
By the time Dave understands the lengths the woman he loves is willing to go to get what she wants, he will have distanced himself from the loving savior that saved him long ago from a heroin habit. Now, he finds himself lost in a spiral of shame and guilt that seems to be leading back to the dark pit his faith once saved him from. Only after he is miraculously unable to take advantage of the poisonous “gift” given him by another lost soul, will Dave finally grasp the truth: the one knocking at his life’s door has not been the devil, as he thought in his confusion, but the loving savior who has never left the fallen pastor’s side.
