Arlis Stetson's stagnated ministry, rife with jeers and rejection, chances rebooting its evangelical thrust into his ragtag urban community while simultaneously neutralizing a sinister religious organization mysteriously appearing in town. Arlis rallies a motley crew of underperforming ministers specializing in streets evangelism. Arlis' audacious squad fights on two fronts—themselves, and their mysterious adversary—while teaching Bible relevancy to religious outliers in their community. Frequent gatherings at Martha's Soul Food Cafe fans their outrage over the shallow penetration of Christ's gospel into their parish. Mutually, over shrimp and grits, the four men and woman of God commiserate condemning inept church leadership. What unacknowledged attraction unites these Christian fellows devoted to varying apostolic teachings? Is their untested streets evangelism makeover and its flagship message, 'The Holiness Pitch,' so sensational that Gospel scoffers pay attention? Leaning on his deceased wisdom teacher's credos, Uncle-daddy, life-lessons galore erupt.
