Reverend Philip Lambe is transferred from his rich rural parish to a tough Midlands city.
Lambe plans to visit the new parish he has been offered, but Emma refuses to go. Parish life is further complicated by Major Andrews, who insists on erecting a massive headstone in memory of his friend Archie Colson.
The reverend and Emma descend on Edendale and discover that it's even more run-down than the reports suggested. During the events of one night, they confirm their worst of fears and reinforce that Edendale really needs them.
