Après la sortie de prison du révérend David Hill (comme on le voit dans le film précédent), une controverse est suscitée contre l'église St. James de Dave, située sur le campus universitaire. Cela amène le collège à entamer le processus de fermeture de l'église, à la grande consternation de Dave et de sa partenaire Jude. Lorsqu'ils ont été informés de la décision de fermer l'église et de la remplacer par un bâtiment permettant d'agrandir l'école, Dave et Jude ont entamé le processus de poursuite du collège pour sauver St. James. Les choses s'aggravent quand Adam Richertson, étudiant, en signe de protestation, jette une brique dans l'église, allume un feu qui tue Jude et détruit presque l'église. Dave est obligé de s'attaquer à la perte de son cher ami. Adam est horrifié par ses actes et envisage d’avouer le crime, ce qui le conduit à renouer le contact avec sa petite amie sceptique, Keaton.
