A brooding, sensual thriller that weighs sacred vows against criminal blood, moving from city shadows to a sunlit village where faith and desire collide.

Tagline
Passion. Betrayal. Revenge.
Overview
After witnessing her lover being murdered by his jealous wife, Angela seeks refuge in a church where she encounters a young priest named Michael, who gives her sanctuary. But the killing was not a simple act of passion, as the victim had ties to organized crime, and, surprisingly, so does Michael, whose father is a powerful don. When the priest finds himself falling in love with Angela, his religious vows and family ties are both severely tested.
