Against the background of the rich agricultural region of The Great Lakes which was created when the Great Michigan Fire Of 1881 decimated its forest, young Reverend Leslie Lunnsford of Castleford, Yorkshire, England, arrives in the lovely lake port town of Port Crescent, Michigan in the early summer of 1914.

He soon is embroiled in the religious hysteria brought on by a visiting "hell fire and damnation" evangelist from Detroit, the schemes of an unscrupulous immigrant from Odessa, Russia who is now determined to control the town, the obsessive ambitions of a grasping socialite.
