In the parish of Dunbridge the news is out: Claire and Neil are engaged!

And yet, before the celebrations have really begun, Ben, the father of Claire's son, appears back on the scene. It quickly becomes clear that young Sam is not the only person Ben wants to win back.

As Neil reels in the face of Claire's confusion at spending time with her first love, Wendy always seems to be there to provide support and comfort. Little does he know of Wendy's involvement with Ben's reappearance: However, Neil has little chance to ponder his love life as the whole weight of running the church and parish descends upon his inexperienced shoulders.

Neil's time as a curate in Dunbridge is coming swiftly to an end. Where should he go next, and who will go with him?
