A high-spirited fish-out-of-water comedy that uses the clash between a brash lounge singer and convent life to build warmth, humor, and ultimately genuine human connection.

When lively lounge singer Deloris sees her mobster beau commit murder, she is relocated for her protection. Set up in the guise of a nun in a California convent, she proceeds to upend the quiet lives of the resident sisters.
