Edward Fudge, a young preacher in Athens, Alabama, agrees to investigate the existence of an eternally burning Hell for $3000. As he delves into research, his life crumbles due to his findings, which challenge his conservative theology. He faces backlash from his denomination, is fired from his church and publishing company, and his relationships suffer. Ultimately, Fudge emerges as a defender of faith and Scripture, and a champion for God's love, with his research published in the book "The Fire That Consumes".
