Science. Religion. Fact. Devotion. Do they intersect? The murder of a newborn in a convent warrants the expertise of Dr. Martha Livingstone, a court appointed psychiatrist, to determine the mental state of the accused novice. But when she faces the pious resistance of Miriam Ruth, the Mother Superior, it inflames the doctor’s suspicions surrounding the convent’s involvement and leaves questions abound. Who killed the infant? Where is the father? Might the convent be behind this debacle? Livingstone’s inquisition pushes all three women to call into question the true meanings of spiritual faith and the power of love.
