Father Jimmy is an attractive, young Catholic priest fresh from the Seminary relishing his first posting in a leafy Parish in the 80’s Liverpool which he shares with his cantankerous elderly senior, Father Peter.
His immediate success and popularity and his innocent attachment to the beautiful and troubled Theresa Conway draws a few raised eyebrows from the diocesan elders and he is soon conveniently shipped to Rome for further training.
However, unbeknown to Father Jimmy traumatic events in his early childhood seemed to have completely wiped out his motley past. Defying all credibility, the truth is that Father Jimmy’s life began in 1951, in the heart of the African Continent as political turmoil swept through even the safest monarchies like the peaceful land of Lubanya ruled by the benevolent King Idris.
A string of events and a cruel, desperate fate conspired to tear him away for ever from his mother Leila, his family and his royal relatives. Only through the kind services of Admiral Dan Rogers, at the helm of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet is he finally safely adopted by the good nuns at a Catholic orphanage in Liverpool with his elder brother under new identities to conceal their Moslem lineage.
It is from there that Jimmy graduates to the Seminary and is finally ordained a Catholic priest. And just when he thinks his troubles are over, a ruthless fate and his God conspire to torment him.
