Ray Foster is a man beset by calamities. Once the highly regarded county prosecutor in his affluent Midwestern community, he’s lost his job, his fortune, his house, the esteem of his community, and his wife has run off with his best friend. Working a low wage position as an IT consultant for a paranormal investigations start up, Ray struggles to survive in the city’s urban projects, finding himself confounded and defeated at every turn. When his wife’s lover calls to demand $5,000 in lieu of taking Ray to court for failure to pay his child and spousal support, he has truly hit rock bottom. What follows is a twisting tale of bank robbery, men’s support groups, hauntings, methamphetamine manufacture, heroism, illicit sex, betrayal, redemption, big-haired preachers and, ultimately, Divine intervention.
The Saint is a modern retelling of the Job story which recounts one man’s difficult, troubling and frequently maddening journey through the ramifications of divorce, infidelity, and the nature of relationships to ask not “Why do good men suffer?” but “After suffering, can we ever be fully restored?”
