The novel begins in Rwanda. The protagonist is a priest named Terry Dunn. It is a few years after the genocide, when the Hutus murdered Tutsis.

Eventually Terry goes back to his hometown of Detroit to raise money for "Pagan Babies" — the children orphaned during the genocide. We learn more about Terry's past.

Debbie's ex-husband Randy now owns a restaurant and is involved with some of the same gangsters that Terry once knew.
