Father Christopher is blessed. He is lazy, he likes people, and he is not interested in sex: being a priest is the perfect job for him. In the late eighties, he is entrusted with the care of a flock of misfits and unfortunates in San Francisco. Disease, death, tragedy surround him. He also witnesses small miracles, acts of kindness and love, friendships deeper than he knew.
Suddenly, a parishioner's young boy is kidnapped without a trace. Mysterious clues appear, hinting at the culprit and the tragic fate that is awaiting the child - if Father Christopher can't solve the puzzle.
Our hero risks everything to find the child, including his standing with the Church. As the Archbishop frowns, Father Christopher is forced to examine the religion he has known since childhood, realizing that there is a lot more to the stories in the Gospels than the Church has ever let on.
