Father Thomas Riley is a beloved parish priest, admired for his compassion and his ability to guide those mourning the loss of loved ones. But beneath his virtuous image lies a dangerous secret: his relationships with some of the women in his grief counseling groups blur the line between pastoral care and personal indiscretion.

When one of these women is found brutally murdered, Detective Wilcox takes on the case, convinced that Father Riley is not only guilty of breaking his vow of celibacy but of committing a desperate act to conceal his sins. As the investigation unfolds, Father Riley’s reassignment to the Vatican only deepens Wilcox’s suspicions.

Torn between his vocation and his mistakes, Father Riley must navigate a web of lies, suspicion, and fear. With his life unraveling and another woman’s death pointing in his direction, the question remains: is Father Riley a man of God caught in a nightmare—or is he hiding a far darker truth?
