When Sarah (Tiffany Shepis), a young American, travels to Italy to join the New Order convent as a cloister nun, she prepares for an arduous spiritual journey. But she wasn't prepared to be tortured by the convent's violent past. On the path to finding God, Sarah begins having visions of a troubled young nun who once sought the same serenity she did -- but whose fanatical grandfather made her life a living hell.
