Synopsis |
|
Inside the walls of St. Vincent's
Orphanage, young boys fall victim to
sexual, physical and emotional abuse
at the hands of their guardians.
Henry Czerny gives a terrifying
performance as Brother Lavin, the
head of the orphanage who must
juggle the teachings of the church
with his own personal demons. The
plight of the boys under his care
remains unheard until the orphanage
janitor and a local policeman speak
out against the Brothers' appalling
treatment of the orphans. During the
ensuing investigation, the boys
courageously testify against the
Brothers. Fearing a scandal,
religious and civil authorities
conspire to shut down the case and
quietly transfer the accused
Brothers to new postings. Fifteen
years later, still unhealed, the
victims go public with their ordeal.
As the veil of secrecy is finally
lifted, their story will shock the
world. |
