The penitent priest
Father Tom is back in his home town, where previously his beloved wife had been murdered. He ran for fifteen years, unable to look at the past. Unfortunately his return starts the unravelling of his belief and understanding of the past. A story of human frailties, empathy and the need to understand ourselves.
