| Plot |
| The foundation of the Roman Catholic Church is shaken as one Cardinal's dark secret is finally revealed. Based on the compelling book "Our Fathers", this true story focuses on the sexual abuse scandal and cover-up. The story unfolds in early 2002; when a group of Boston Globe reporters blew open the sexual abuse scandal surrounding Father John J. Geoghan and Boston's now-infamous Cardinal Bernard Law (Christopher Plummer), who failed to stop the sexual abuse by clergy in his diocese. The passion and courage of Mitchell Garabedian (Ted Danson), one of the first lawyers willing to take on the Church, enabled him to uncover scores of victims and their stories. |
