The Christians are a family in turmoil fueled by greed. Lionel Christian, a prominent architect and owner of Christian Homes, his wife Hazel, a socialite, along with their two daughters, Harper Marie and Betty Jean, enjoy an elite lifestyle in Providence, Georgia. Hazel, the authoritarian, is against any aspect associated with religion. Her world revolves around one's social status instead of a person's character, insisting her daughters' only focus is submitting to prominent husbands. Harper Marie defies her mother's convictions by sneaking across town to Russell City for worship services at Victory Baptist Church, believing God for two miracles. The first prayer is that she and her family worship Christ together and the second is to fulfill her dream of one day becoming a high-powered attorney. However, the tribulations she must conquer along the way are unimaginable. Soon, Harper Marie can no longer hide a well-kept secret, but she dare not tell anyone the truth except Pastor's son, Nathaniel Davis. During the turbulent seasons that Harper Marie faces transitioning into an adult, she maintains her resilient faith which pushes her forward to witness that God didn't forget her prayers. Hazel's greed allows a scandal to shatter the Christian's stability, opening the door for Harper Marie's long-awaited aspirations to become reality, all while shifting the perception of an entire community.
