When a storm hits her village, Merla Meadows takes in a handsome stranger and his mother, who happens to be the infamous Christian mystic, Margery Kempe. BRESCIA, ITALY - 1413 In an isolated village concealed among the rugged cliffs and dense vegetation of Lake Iseo, Merla Meadows cares for the elderly in a community that considers them a burden. James Kempe harbors no fantasies about marriage. Having always seen his deeply religious mother shy away from his father’s touch, he knows such unions are simply business transactions. During a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, James and his mother stumble into a community with strange beliefs, where he finds himself resisting the unrefined charm of the beautiful, red-haired caretaker. When Merla's home is threatened by the town’s spiritual leaders, James is torn between the mission his father gave him and a young woman determined to safeguard the vulnerable at any cost.
