African American Pastor Paul Kerr insists that the few water drops which fall from the eyes of a life-sized crucifix hanging untouched for ages in his old Gothic Church are either a diabolical human deceit or a display of Lucifer himself.

Flamed by the media’s greed for the sensational, Kerr’s church quickly becomes a wealthy national enigma.

But after several people die horribly investigating the long-hanging crucifix, Pastor Kerr is desperate to find an earthly cause of the mysterious tears, knowing that who or what he finds might claim him as a next murder victim.
