The story

In 1911 at a Roman Catholic parish in the rural town of Isadore, Michigan, Sister Rita, a young nun, arrives at the parish to help run the church school. When the parish's two elderly nuns contract tuberculosis, Sister Rita is forced to move into the rectory that is home to Father Rivard, the parish priest. The close proximity between the two begins to set off gossip and suspicions, to the point that a monsignor from the diocese comes to give Father Rivard a talking-to.
