1959. Priscilla-Jane Allaway has grown up a ward of the nuns of Saint Catherine’s Academy. Priscilla is desperately searching for a divine purpose in her life, for a great work she can devote to God-- while also reeling from a rejection by the girl she loves. In the midst of this, the rough-and-tumble Skye arrives at the Academy, sent there by their parents to “cure” them of their genderqueerness.
When Priscilla thwarts Skye's attempt to escape the Academy, the two accidentally awaken the ghost of a student who died on campus decades prior. In their attempt to set the ghost to rest and solve the mystery of her death, they uncover secrets about the school that shake Priscilla's faith-- and form an unexpected connection.
