An African preacher-in-training arrives in drought-stricken rural America intending to further his studies in religion and water conservation. Hosted by a mother and daughter haunted by tragedy, he takes an interest in a young orphan starved for guidance – all the while maintaining an infectious optimism in the face of his obstacles. Undaunted, the preacher determines to battle – by any means necessary – the personal and political forces that threaten the ecology of his new home.
