A shocking tale of secrets, guilt, and clerical child abuse.
"God has made you special, but I will show you how to have an extraordinary
life. Show you true love, as God intended for our kind."
It's 1978. Blackburn Hamlet is a typical suburban village in eastern Ontario. In
this vibrant Catholic community, life revolves around family and church. Then
the safe comfort of both is destroyed by the arrival of a predator priest.
When charismatic Father Sweet invites his new favourite altar boy on a camping
trip, the boy's parents insist he go. Trapped in the woods, the boy struggles to
evade the priest's sexual advances. But Father Sweet forces him to make an
impossible choice.
Twenty-five years later, he is lost, broken, and angry. His father's death
reveals secrets that spur the man to relive his own past. Desiring justice, in
need of healing, he discovers, in a daring rescue mission, a way to achieve
both.
