Petrified of a family generational curse, tormented by a love-driven sin, Marloe Vain seeks revenge. Sworn to celibacy after her betrothed, Lawson James, breaks her heart, every suitor thereafter must pay. Marloe uses the breathtaking "power" of her beauty to garner posh jewels from love interests, abandoning them when they fall deeply for her, spiritually justifying her actions. A chance encounter with distinguished lawyer, Syril Barrett, brings her life to a grinding halt. Lawson returns to win her back, stirring painful memories and doubt of her worthiness. Needing a sign from God, she devises an unconventional test of Syril's sincerity. Family secrets abound, as Marloe's parents, the revered Deacon Bailey Vain and Rosette, are trapped in a deceitful and unforgiving web. Publicly, they appear the idyllic couple, but behind closed doors, their marriage is a 30-year "cold-war." For the Vain family, the journey to forgiveness, redemption, and unconditional love is a voyage of wretched lows and dazzling highs, culminating with unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.
