The Bishop's Family recounts the story of a man, Bishop Dan, who is an honest, caring and particularly appreciated religious leader in his community. He is also a proponent of interfaith dialogue and therefore pretty close to other religious authorities, like Imam Bilal and Pastor Joseph. Serving God and helping people has always been His calling, and his commitment to the cause is unparalleled. He regularly welcomes his community members in his office to listen to their problems, hear their confessions, give them advice or to try to help them as much as possible.On the other hand, his wife, Jane, is less spiritual and more pragmatic. She owns a very successful beautysalon which doubles as a life coaching / couple therapy / “new age” weight loss consultancy. She's literallythe breadwinner of the family, and has always financially supported her husband, their children as well asthe church activities. Yet most of the community despise her. Indeed, her sex appeal, apparent arrogance andostentatious materialism seem to rub many people the wrong way. Unsurprisingly, she also provokes quite abit of jealousy and envy.
Due to her twisted past, Jane and her loved ones suffer the suspenseful cycle of blackmailing, manipulation, and violence. Whatwill Jane do to protect her family from the threats? How will she preserve her secret?Truth unrevealing in the seasons.[3]
