Hell on Church Street

Geoffrey Webb—once a con man, always a con man—has talked himself into a cushy job as a youth minster in a small Baptist church in Arkansas. Unfortunately for him he shows the preacher's underage daughter a little too much attention, and when their relationship is discovered by the corrupt local sheriff, Webb's easy life begins to fall apart.
