 When Andre James, an African-American priest with a troubled past, is sent to a prestigious Catholic boarding school to replace another priest who has disappeared, he is forced to contend with his own dark past, as well as with the elitist attitudes of the school s students and faculty. His only real connection is with Parker, a young student with troubles of his own. But when Andre discovers that the priest he replaced was murdered to cover up an abuse scandal that may involve Parker, he is soon caught up in scandal himself, and must clear his reputation while finding the priest s murderer.
