Description

Jasmine is a typical sixteen-year-old country girl who has mixed emotions toward her humble upbringing. She finds it conflicting to be reared in a large household with beliefs she considers to be unorthodox. The need for money persuades her to accept a job with a dysfunctional family caring for a demented patient. She wounds up in a hodgepodge of events working for her father's estranged friend, Spence. After a twenty-five-year absence, Spence shows up and offers her employment caring for his mother, Sis, who is in an advanced stage of dementia. Spence is a bolting child molester with criminal intentions as he takes advantage of her naivety.

Fleeing from Spence and her impending embarrassment, Jasmine runs into the arms of the person she thinks is her savior. Wesley is a self-proclaimed minister and provides a temporary solace. Once they arrive in Columbia, the truth comes out. He is an old married mafia leader who profits from prostitution. Wesley's admiration for Jasmine blossoms into love. Perceiving her differently from other girls, he fights to protect her from his wife, Joanna. He is encumbered with the task of protecting Jasmine while expunging rival gangsters through the use of his deranged assassin, Frankie.

Joanna discovers his affections for Jasmine. Out of jealousy, she hires the Grim Reaper. He is a color-blinded assassin whose job is to kill Jasmine, along others. Wesley can't allow this hit to happen. He forces a Catholic priest, Father Monsell, to provide a safe haven for her at the church while he deals with family dynamics. Wesley feigns religious conversion while she is in hiding so that he can visit her. When Joanna's brothers expose Wesley's plot, the family unites and many deaths follow.
