Ruth, a spiritually hungry stay at home mother of three, does battle in prayer, courageously standing between her precious children and the evil one. She can't afford to be careless. Yet her husband Rick, has reservations about her choices, including their church and their daughter's Christian school. Doesn't he know they need allies against the dangers of the world?
Ruth doesn't realize that her heartfelt desire for God is distorted by obsessive compulsive disorder. As she fanatically cleans the house and habitually washers her hands as an express of her devotion to God, Ruth exposes herself and her family to the very manipulative and evil forces for whom she is trying to protect them. On the bring of self-destruction, Ruth discerns God's voice at last as He leads her back to reality.
