Pastor Lance Taylor and his wife, Shaunda, are pillars of The Richness of Christ Church "The ROC" a beloved Riverdale congregation built on faith, service, and community. But when Lance’s secret relationship with Sabrina Wells is exposed, the consequences ripple far beyond their marriage.
As Shaunda confronts heartbreak, Sabrina faces her own brokenness, and the Taylor family struggles beneath public scrutiny, the church must reckon with the difference between appearance and truth.
