At the dark center of Frazier's crisis of conscience, it turns out, is a woman; he eventually discovers she has her own hidden agenda.The Sins of Heroes follows the fortunes of the fictitious Deacons of Delta Southern University as they fight through a season that many have predicted will go all the way to a national championship. Little does anyone know, behind the scenes, Frazier is playing a very different game, one he hopes will not only save his soul but also earn him the respect he feels he's due.
