Armstrong Cane was the son of a respected preacher, but he took a different path in life and winding up serving fifteen years for manslaughter. Now that Cane is back on the streets, he's determined take over his father's old church and lead the congregation to salvation.

I actually thought that I would be turning this off after a few minutes into it. I didn't. Amazingly, it's rather well done. Decent story. Decent acting. Was not real crazy about the ending, but all in all I enjoyed this.

possibly the worst script ever written and a plotline weaker than most of the cast's performance, this film sucks. the only reason it got made is cos michael jackson wrote it. the only redeeming feature is ving rhames and not even his performance could save this awful film. if you're gonna make a film which is supposed to make a statement, at least make a good movie. seriously awful, the purest stream of drivel i have ever come across. Defining Scene: Oh but there are so many to choose from! if i had to choose one scene from this film, it would have to be the piece of comedic genius when blaze confronts armstrong in the church. oh was that not meant to be funny? my mistake.
