Plot
In 1940, Monsignor Renard arrives back in his hometown 20 years after leaving to join the Catholic church. The village is filled with reminders of his former life, including Madeleine, his one time fiancée who has never forgiven him for choosing the church over her. The village is also occupied by Nazis preparing to invade England using the town as an embarkation point. Against this Renard performs his Ministry while being drawn ever deeper into the resistance movement.[1]
