After his guardian's severe illness, pastor Paul Trevelyan returns to his congregation in Seaside with a big surprise--a wife he's been estranged from for seven years. It was the ailing old man's wish that Dori and Trev return to each other, and they agree, as long as they can sleep in separate bedrooms. The dangers of a sinister luggage mix-up are compounded by discord within the church, as a highly opinionated elder proves he stop at nothing to see Trev gone. This blizzard of difficulties leaves just a snowball's chance of a thaw between the stubborn spouses.
