Father Sam, an aging Roman Catholic priest, living contentedly at a Niagara Falls parish, receives a letter that throws his complacent life into turmoil. Now, haunted by the murky memory of his encounter with a young boy, Father Sam must reconcile the truth: did a sexual encounter take place over 40 years ago? And more importantly, can a moral custodian of the faithful, a dispenser of God's grace, transcend his own Fall?
