Body and Soul

An escaped convict masquerades as Reverend Isaiah Jenkins in a predominantly Black Georgian town in the 1920s. After being joined by a fellow escaped prisoner, the two plot to take advantage of the unsuspecting congregation who have grown to adore their new reverend. Things become complicated when Jenkins falls for a young woman who also happens to be in love with his long-estranged twin brother. Thus begins an entanglement that leads to betrayal and eventual ruin.
