After serving time in juvenile detention for a violent crime, 20-year-old Daniel must face his inner demons while searching for redemption.
Running from the troubles that haunt him, Daniel hides from his past by posing as a priest in a small Polish town and is given the chance for spiritual transformation. Slipping into the role of charismatic preacher, he is able to offer his new flock a chance to heal from a polarizing tragedy. However, not everyone is capable of forgiveness or of deliverance, and the winding road to redemption can be difficult.
