Elder McLeod--outspoken, surly, a brash American--is nearing the end of his mission in Brazil when he is given a new partner--Elder Passos, a devout, ambitious Brazilian who found salvation and solace in the church after his mother's early death. The two men are at first suspicious of each other, and their work together is frustrating, fruitless. That changes when a beautiful woman and her husband offer the missionaries a chance to be heard.
