Suddenly, he believes he has a divine calling to become a priest and follows this bizarre whim creating much stress and chaos within his family. He surrenders his marriage, fatherhood, stellar career, accrued wealth, extravagant and glamorous lifestyle in pursuit of this very strange and odd preoccupation which ultimately causes him much failure, self-doubt, embarrassment, and bankruptcy. He finds out when it is too late that he is unable to fulfill this ecclesiastical ambition and summarily withdraws from the seminary on two different occasions. Once back into civilian life, he becomes extremely overwhelmed and frustrated not being able to resume his family relations, previous standards, and his amazing career path. He finds himself on a tumultuous journey including being deceived into having an affair with a very despicable, conniving female whom he impregnates and, as a result, is faced with extremely dire consequences.
