A sympathetic, visually vibrant biographical portrait of an ambitious televangelist couple's rise and fall, balancing affectionate humor with the pathos of their downfall.

From the 1960s to the 1980s, evangelist Jim Baker and his ambitious wife, Tammy Faye, rose from humble beginnings to build an empire based on big-time evangelical Christianity--only for the couple to fall from grace because of some all-too-human sins.
