Ambientada en un futuro próximo. Como consecuencia de un movimiento ecuménico (Concilio Vaticano IV), la Iglesia católica se ha unido a otras religiones y ha eliminado gran parte del dogma original del catolicismo. Un grupo de monjes irlandeses se rebelan contra esta situación y reaccionan volviendo al pasado: empiezan a decir la misa en latín y a actuar según el dogma católico tradicional. Así las cosas, Roma decide enviar a un representante (Martin Sheen) para que investigue lo que está ocurriendo

Thomas Crimmins is a new warder, or guard, in an Irish prison. He is young, naive, and idealistic, determined to serve his country by his part in meting out justice to criminals. His superior, Regan, however, realizes that even prisoners are human beings, and Regan is sick of the eye-for-an-eye attitude that leads the state to execute condemned men, or "quare fellows." Crimmins begins to see that not all is black and white in his new world, and when he becomes involved with Kathleen, the wife of one of the condemned men, his attitude begins to change. When new evidence arises to suggest that Kathleen's husband may not deserve his fate, Crimmins is torn between his duty and his humanity.
