TRICKS THE DEVIL TAUGHT ME-

Don and Betty have been married for 22 years, almost exactly as long as they have had their son, Jeremy. But there is whispering behind closed doors, and the once invisible imperfections begin to poison the air. Right and wrong are swept up in a whirlwind of lies, hope and haunting memories. Perfume of whiskey sweetens the smell of prayer as the supporting cast reaches for their own versions of salvation. Will the faithful be saved? Or have they run out of time? The plan has already been set into motion. Judgment is coming...
