Storyline

Sister Elizabeth lives a peaceful and communal life in the convent. She is about to take her final vows—the last step to becoming a nun and marrying God. When her childhood sweetheart Jonathan calls to tell her about his father's death, Elsie decides to go to him, putting her faith to the test.
