Father Duncan MacAskill knows all about temptation. His fellow men of the cloth call him the "Exorcist" behind his back because he's spent most of his priesthood as the bishop's cleanup man, the enforcer sent in to disipline the wayward priests and tidy away potential scandal. Tidy away the emotions of the victims too, which is something that has been increasingly wearing away at his sense of justice and calling. And so, when the bishop catches wind that a big media scandal may be heading their way and suggests that now might be the time for Duncan to relocate his duties in a country parish far out of the line of fire, he is only too willing. Pushed to the breaking point by lonliness, tragedy and sudden self-knowledge, Duncan sets out on a course of action that reveals how hidden obsession and guilty secrets either find their way to the light of understanding, or poison any chance we have for love and spiritual peace.
