Synopsis: Father Daniel Clemens (Christian Slater, TRUE ROMANCE) is a dedicated priest who has never found his place at the helm of a parish, choosing instead to work in the cardinal's office. When a fellow priest is accused of murder and later commits suicide--or not--in jail, Clemens becomes increasingly convinced the man was innocent, and assumes the dead man's duties at his parish. With the aid of a journalist and former sweetheart (Molly Parker), he works to solve the mystery, and embarks upon his own spiritual rediscovery, while the possibility of more bloodshed grows.
