Alicia Black Sullivan stands in another high-end boutique, credit cards burning through her wallet. She promised herself she would never become her father, the notorious Reverend Curtis Black. She swore she would stay faithful to her husband Phillip, an assistant pastor at her father's church. She meant every vow she made. But Alicia was raised with money, and she refuses to live without the finer things now. Designer clothes, expensive dinners, luxury goods pile up on her credit statements. The debt grows larger each month. Phillip begins to question whether he married the right woman as Alicia's spending spirals beyond control. Alicia tells herself she has everything under control, but the lies become harder to maintain. She faces a reckoning that will force her to confront an uncomfortable truth about her character and her relationship with money.
