Lent 1977 is a particularly penitential season for Catholic priest
Andrew Boulton. Attempting to be faithful to the Church to which he
converted at Cambridge, he finds himself trying to steer an even
path in the troubled waters following the Second Vatican Council.
On the one hand, he is being courted by traditionalists in the
shape of his old mentor Monsignor Charlie Payne and the devious
Tridentine seminarian Aelred Blair, On the other hand he is being
persecuted by the newly appointed area bishop Michael Follett who
regards him as an awkward relic of the past. He attempts to escape
from all this by devoting himself to his parish and particularly to
helping a young parishioner with dyslexia, but, as the weeks
progress, he finds himself increasingly overwhelmed, his anguish
reflected in the unfolding Lenten liturgy. The climax takes place
on Maundy Thursday night with a great act of betrayal.
