<p>In 1980, a young Darrin Hill and his mother, Mary Ann, are <a href="Run_out_of_town_on_a_rail" class="mw-redirect" title="Run out of town on a rail">run out</a> of Monte Carlo, Georgia, after Mary Ann was found to be singing secular <a href="Rhythm_and_blues" title="Rhythm and blues">R&B music</a> even as she is in the local church choir. After being confronted by the self-righteous and domineering Paulina Pritchett, Mary Ann is forced to choose between singing professionally or remaining in the choir. Choosing the former, she and Darrin leave on a bus, sadly waving goodbye to their beloved Aunt Sally.

</p><p>In 2003, Darrin is a successful advertising executive in <a href="New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> with a bad habit of lying; Mary Ann was killed in a <a href="Hit_and_run" title="Hit and run">hit-and-run</a> accident when he was a teenager. His secretary and only loving, true friend, Rosa Lopez, controls his credit problems. However, Darrin has achieved so much under false pretenses, having faked his high school and college diplomas, and lied about being the son of a congressman. Eventually, his lies get him in trouble with his paranoid boss, resulting in Darrin‘s termination. After being tracked down by a private investigator, Darrin learns that Aunt Sally has died.

</p><p>Darrin returns to Monte Carlo and finds new friends in Paulina's grandson, Jimmy B. and Lucious, the town's happy-go-lucky, womanizing cab driver. After Aunt Sally's funeral, Darrin learns from Reverend Paul Lewis, the pastor and Paulina's brother, that Aunt Sally’s will says he must direct the church choir and enter the annual "Gospel Explosion" competition to win $10,000, and in doing so, inherit Aunt Sally's stock in the company that produces the show worth $150,000. This does not sit well with Paulina, as she had been next in line.

</p><p>Upon taking charge of the once-powerful choir, Darrin finds only a few members remain. After several setbacks, Darrin eventually recruits many new members, mostly by promising them half the prize money to them (though he has no intention of doing so). He also reconnects with his childhood friend and crush Lilly, who was also ostracized for being a nightclub singer, and having a son out of wedlock, Dean. Lilly initially refuses to join the choir, but with some assurance from Darrin, she ultimately becomes the new lead singer, with Paulina quitting in retaliation.

</p><p>Several weeks later, Paulina reveals Darrin had not entered the choir into the auditions on time. Luckily, the audition judge, Luther Washington, who is also the town's prison warden, lets them perform for his prisoners when another act cancels. Thanks to Lilly's beautiful looks and voice, the choir performs well. Washington lets them into the competition and lets Darrin borrow three convicts: Bee-Z Briggs, Lightfoot, and Mr. Johnson, who can sing and rap.

</p><p>After weeks of success, the choir and church have become more popular. Lilly starts to trust Darrin and returns his romantic feelings. However, Paulina takes a message for Darrin in a phone call from Rosa, and learns of his past. The next afternoon, Paulina deliberately exposes Darrin to make herself look innocent. Lilly, furious and heartbroken that Darrin had been using her, coldly tells him that she does not care, and the choir members begin to panic and become angry at him for his lies. Darrin, however, rebukes them for their hypocrisy in joining the choir to get paid, and the other churchgoers for running him and his mother out of town simply over her decision to pursue her singing dreams.

</p><p>Darrin quits and returns to New York, where he has been offered his job back with a promotion. However, shortly after Darrin gets the promotion and a new condo, he realizes these mean nothing without Lilly and the choir. Darrin returns to Monte Carlo to reconcile with Lilly. Afterwards, they recruit Lucious and Reverend Lewis, and they all rush to the Gospel Explosion to join the choir.

</p><p>When Darrin and Lilly arrive, Paulina, having taken over as director, tries to exclude, citing that Darrin forfeited his inheritance when he quit. However, Reverend Lewis finally stands up to Paulina and calls her out. He then reveals her husband, whom she had claimed was dead, is alive and remarried to a better woman. Lilly scolds Paulina for insulting Sally’s will and wishes, which gave Darrin the choir. They convince the rest to oust Paulina, giving Darrin back his position.

</p><p>Before their performance, Darrin tells Lilly she inspired him to name the choir “The Fighting Temptations”. They win the competition, but before ending his acceptance speech, Darrin surprises Lilly with a <a href="Marriage_proposal" title="Marriage proposal">marriage proposal</a>, which she accepts. Eighteen months later, the two are happily married with a baby of their own. In addition, the church is to undergo expansion, and Paulina has returned to the choir after seemingly changing her ways.
