Sister Agnes is now,as Father Julius solemnly teases her,a 'fully paid-up' member of the convent,but any thoughts that life might go more smoothly with her final vows are soon proved incorrect.
Delighted to have escaped the oppressive confines of life inside the convent,Agnes is back in her own flat,working at the Order's hostel for the homeless.But before long things take a turn for the worse: a young and vulnerable resident,Abbie,is found dead,and the fragile peace is shattered.Though it looks like suicide, questions are raised about the mysterious drug dealer Murchison's influence over Abbie and the other young hostel-dwellers.
What,or who,pushed Abbie to end her life? With Murchison's formidable reputation,as increasingly sinister events unfold,the finger of blame seems to be pointing right at him.
But Agnes has more than that on her mind. Forced to confront the foundations of her faith,she is plagued by doubts planted by Abbie in their last conversation before she died - did she become a nun to run away from real life? Whether she likes it or not,real life soon catches up in the form of gentlemanly American geologist Dr Bretton Laing beaing news of her long-dead father's last years.She cannot run from her past for ever. . .
