THE CANAANITES

It's the year 2005... Welcome to Canaan Baptist Church-the oldest and most influential African American church in the South. Driven by passion and fueled by spirit, the people here are bound by love, devotion, and faith... at least, it seems that way. Desperate to regain control over her family's legacy, Victoria Lawrence Barnett will stop at nothing, but her hunger for power pulls her into something far deeper-and far more dangerous-than she ever expected. As she fights at all costs to save her marriage and protect her mother, the secret lives of the legendary Canaanites begin to intertwine, revealing sex, hatred, deceit, vengeance, manipulation... and murder. While the nation watches the crumble of this iconic church, loyalties shift, truth becomes distorted, and the line between right and wrong disappears. When what began as a mission of faith becomes a race for survival-everyone is a suspect.
