Cain

James Clark

Baptist minister John Wesley Cain, an earthy, theologically unconventional Vietnam veteran, deals with the possible loss of his position; problems with his son; a troubled teen-aged musician and his drunken Vietnam-vet father; hypocritical church members, and his own shortcomings and ambitions. He tries to save the marriage of a man and wife, both of whom have been unfaithful. Present in this matter is the intrigue surrounding the man, a lawyer/legislator/bagman who is the operator in a kickback scheme perpetrated by casino operators interested in bringing riverboat gambling to the state. Cain doesn't break the law but he pushes the envelope and makes some hypocrites pay.
