At a Catholic School in the Bronx in 1964, Sister Aloysius, the principal, becomes concerned that one of her students is possibly being sexually abused by the popular basketball coach, Father Flynn. She builds her case on nothing but her conviction and a few circumstantial details and instigates a relentless campaign to remove the priest. Is Father Flynn a slick predator? Or is Sister Aloysius acting on a vendetta that even she may not fully understand, and unjustly persecuting him? Where the molesting of a child is concerned, the doubt of others is of comfort to the guilty and a torment for the falsely accused.
