Winner of the Best Film (UK Feature) at the London Independent Film Festival 2009, this powerful and tender drama tells the story of Sheamy (Scot Williams), a gentle Irish ex-priest who arrives in London to find his old family friend and mentor Father Brendan.

After an unsuccessful search Sheamy is introduced by a mutual friend to Katie (Cara Seymour). The attraction between them is undeniable and immediate, although both have scars and secrets that threaten their burgeoning relationship.
