Enter
a life of duplicity lived near the heart of religious power: Radko
Slopovich is a priest promised to celibacy but living with his wife
and children. A man with ambition as well as love for his family,
his conflicting passions are ignited and challenged when a highly
placed Vatican official and a close personal friend ensnare him in
a plot to change the Church and advance his career.
Seduced by power and torn between his family and his holy vocation,
Radko must choose what is real and important in his life. A majestic
ending brings together the drama and power that are so distinctive
of Catholicism and the humanity of its members, both lay and clerical.
