Spoilers ahead
Beth Boothby [Brittania Nicol] is a successful born-again evangelical pop singer from Texas. She and her fiancé Steve Thomson [Henry Garrett] both wear purity rings and belong to a group known as the Cowboys in Christ, who travel to heathen areas of the world to preach Christianity. The Reverend Moriarty sends them off to Glasgow, hoping to save some souls there, but they are met with a very negative reception as nobody accepts their pamphlets. They are approached by Sir Lachlan Morrison [Graham McTavish], the laird of the small village of Tressock in the Scottish Lowlands, and his wife Delia Morrison [Jacqueline Leonard], who invite them back with them to preach. They actually intend them for a more central part in Tressock’s May Day celebration.
