Ideal when you feel… Stressed Angry Sad / low

When a priest hears a murderer’s confession, he becomes bound by his vow of silence-even as circumstantial evidence turns suspicion toward him. Torn between faith and self-preservation, he faces public scandal and trial for a crime he cannot reveal the truth about.
