Plot

Homophobic detective Mark Rima must "partner" up with flamboyant gay detective Chris Riant to stop a serial-killing nun from killing five members of a band called The Ex Choir Boys. When it is determined that the detectives cannot solve the case on their own, expert FBI profiler Agent Peccant is assigned to the case. As the details of the case slowly emerge the police determine that the "nun" may only be a silent witness to the grisly murders. The task force then turns its attention on the Catholic Church and a suspect group of priests with a propensity for "cleansing the souls" of innocent young choir boys.
