In a small English town, three intertwined tales follow country clergy facing trials of poverty, pride, love, and conscience. A blundering pastor learns humility, a gentle curate is shadowed by a lost romance, and a stern reformer meets a woman fighting addiction. Parish gossip, quiet heroism, and hard-won grace reveal how ordinary souls are remade by compassion.
