Synopsis

The story of a police officer who embarks on a journey to uncover the dark secrets behind a series of mysterious priest murders in rural Minnesota. A Catholic priest is found with a gunshot wound to the head. Officer Chris Majek arrives at the scene and discovers something chilling: the Latin phrase ‘primum mysterium’ has been scrawled next to the body. Soon, another priest is found dead, then another, each killed in cold blood, each forced to swallow a decade of rosary beads before being murdered. All the victims have been past perpetrators of clergy abuse and have been moved around the country by the Catholic Church staying one step ahead of the law. As Chris digs deeper, his investigation begins to uncover long-buried town secrets that seem to implicate the entire community. At the center of it all stands the popular town dentist, Paul Thomas. Dr. Paul also happens to be Chris’s best friend. With no way to turn back, Chris must confront the truth about the murders, his lifelong relationships, and the darkness within his own past.
