An early romance ends leaving Sister Francis desperate. Her lover, Fr. Edward's joins the Navy. She leaves the convent destitute, gets raped, gets pregnant and gets an abortion. Edwards helps her, then disappears from her life. Twenty five years later they meet. Edwards is now a retired Navy Commander. He is the newly appointed pastor in town. When he is assigned to investigate a priest accused of child molesting, he discovers secret files containing credible complaints against priests accused of molesting children that go back fifty years. Shocked, he copies several of the files. Sister Francis, now a successful attorney, renews her friendship with him. He asks her legal help. The diocesan attorney has a dark past and will stops at nothing to protect the Church. The Vicar General is a closet gay who is complicit in the cover-up. The Archbishop has a Mafia brother-in-law and his own secrets. A Priest, Father Lazardo, is a serial molester and a buddy of the attorney who protects him and the Church. A falsely accused priest, who is an x-lover of the Vicar General, commits suicide after he is arrested on false charges on the Bishop's order. The Vicar turns on the Bishop and his attorney plots revenge.
