A morally conflicted priest navigates the corruption of wartime institutions and forbidden love, wrestling with the gap between his vows and his actions.

The vows of an ambitious young American priest are tested during World War II. Not only does Father John Flaherty get involved with the black market to raise money for the Vatican, he also falls in love with a young French nun.
