With the help of the church's prayer group and the pastor, she is healed and begins to get clean. Meanwhile, her proud man, Pookie, spirals further down into street poverty and crack addiction. But, when Pookie steals Keisha's purse in final desperation, he finds a special memory in the purse, which breaks his pride and his heart. His spirit is awakened, and he goes to the church to hear Keisha sing and find redemption for his own soul.
