A morally complex psychological drama about a young delinquent who impersonates a priest and becomes an unlikely catalyst for a traumatized community's redemption, wrestling with faith, identity, and the possibility of genuine transformation.

A pious 20-year-old juvenile delinquent is sent to work at a sawmill in a small town; on arrival, he dresses up as a priest and accidentally takes over the local parish. The arrival of this young, charismatic preacher is an opportunity for the local community to begin the healing process after a tragedy that happened a year prior.
