It is the 1960's. Laura Evans, a battered wife and mother of two, is returning to her Catholic Church following a long absence. When she meets her priest, Patrick O'Rourke, sparks fly. Soon rumors of their illicit affair force Patrick from his church, leaving Laura devastated. Both she and Patrick are condemned by their church, their family, and all but a few friends. Is there hope for their relationship? Even today, the age-old struggle continues. If a story similar to theirs hasn't happened to you, it has undoubtedly happened to someone you know. Be prepared to take sides regarding a celibate priesthood. The issue not only tortured Laura and Patrick, mere fictional characters from the past; it continues to impact Catholic men and women today. No doubt, it will continue to impact them tomorrow. If the issue was placed on the ballot, how would you cast your vote?
