1920s. Cork, Ireland. Constantly accosted by ambitious, would-be politicians invited by the bishop, the Reverend Mother is finding the week-long sojourn at a convent anything but peaceful. Then a body is discovered in the cemetery, blown to pieces by a makeshift bomb. Was one of the candidates so desperate to win the election they turned to murder?
