In Egypt, Texas, 90-year-old Myrtle Bledsoe revisits painful memories as she seeks self-forgiveness. The opera is essentially a monodrama: Myrtle sings the substantial role, while the other characters mainly speak, with a gospel quartet underscoring moments.
In wartime and postwar London, Sarah promises to end her affair with Maurice if he survives a bombing. When he does, she turns to religion, while Maurice resents her conversion and later hires a detective to investigate her after she returns to her husband, Henry.
