Terry McMillan Presents: Preach, Pray, Love follows Charlie Jones (Tran), a platinum-selling rapper whose provocative persona has fueled her career—and landed her in more than a little trouble. After a stint in prison, Charlie’s court-ordered community service places her in the path of Pastor Kyrus Owens (Hood), a charismatic and devoted minister fundraising to build a new home for his congregation. Despite their worlds being miles apart, an undeniable spark forms between them. As their romance blossoms, Pastor Owens’ congregation begins to question his commitment to the church, while Charlie struggles to reconcile her edgy public image with her growing desire for redemption. With both of their careers and reputations on the line, the couple must rely on honesty, prayer, and love to bridge the divide—and in the process, win over each other’s communities.
