At a celebratory church gathering, a strange malady sends many members scurrying for the bathrooms. The mysterious illness halts a fund-raising event intended to kick off plans for building a new church, and drives Reverend Wilson both to prayer and to find the cause.

Evidence leads the pastor to suspect members of his own congregation, while the church faces deadlines to build on the land or lose it. Couple this with racing against completion of a nearby business that could cause loss of the congregation's right to build on the land, and the pastor becomes a reluctant sleuth. Vandalism to the church, to the pastor's personal property and both successful and attempted murder push Reverend Wilson to risk his life to find out the truth and protect his flock.
