On the first day of Father Frank's vacation, a man says to him, "I'm gonna kill you."
When the threat of violence covers another person, Father Frank knows something must be done. But because the threat came via the confessional, he can't tell the police. He can't even tell the other person who is in jeopardy. Father Frank is on his own.
To make matters worse, this happens in Magnolia Bluff, a place Father Frank has just come to visit. He doesn't know the people; doesn't know the town; and he certainly doesn't have a clue who is issuing the threat.
The attacks start quickly. His vacation hasn't started well, but if he can't stop this man from killing, it will end suddenly – and much worse.
