Set against the backdrop of the devastating yellow fever outbreak in 1878 Memphis, the story follows Louis Schuyler, a young Episcopal priest who feels compelled to leave his comfortable life in New Jersey to assist the afflicted. As he confronts the chaos and despair around him, he grapples with his faith, the implications of his mission, and the spiritual pride that fuels his determination. Louis's internal struggle raises profound questions about the nature of faith in the face of suffering and the limits of one man's ability to help in a time of crisis.
