The film convincingly retells the story of a Prague Film Academy student (whom Taus himself plays under his own name) who becomes heavily hooked and then attempts to make it back to normal life.

The Pastor of New Bethel, Donald Stevens, is blessed and highly favored. Hosting his first-ever Holy Retreat, God seems to be smiling down upon him. With the promise of celebrity clergy and high-profile guests, the megachurch and its congregation are abuzz. The First Lady in her arrogant glory, Shirley Stevens, is ready to assume her position as Queen of the Church she and her husband proudly rule over. The long-time married couple leaves nothing to chance in preparation for what they'd prayed would be the talk of the church circuit coast to coast. Unbeknownst, the devil soon comes lurking, and all hell could break loose. Pastor Stevens contacts his old Theology School buddy, Reverend Kenneth Lightfoot, to deliver the coveted opening sermon of the religious event. It's then when the illicit sinful relationship between the holier than thou First Lady of New Bethel, Shirley Stevens, and Reverend Lightfoot becomes on the verge of getting exposed. Soon, the close-knit congregation will discover if the two church hypocrites are truly SAVED, SANCTIFIED, or FULL OF IT.
