Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

Father John Buerlein works the crossword while old women confess the sins of their husbands and the homeless sleep it off in quiet pews- His shift is nearly over when a beautiful call girl, Linda, enters to confess a sin she hasn't committed yet: 'I'm going to kill myself’ She dissapears and he sets off to find her. He goes incognito to where music plays and neon lights pulsate, awakening a longing and desire for human contact he didn't know existed. When Father John emerges from his descent into the world of pornography and prostitution to stand again before his congregation, he is a profoundly changed man, as are members of his church, who now hang on his every word.
