   Summary

   Thomas Lawrence left his role at the Vatican behind a while ago, it was turning him grey too fast. Now he's running his little church in the countryside, helping with the parish council. This is until disgraced ex-Cardinal Vincent Benítez, a man Thomas hadn't known existed, shows up on his doorstep shivering like a dog, exiled from Rome by the new Pope who clearly knows something about Benítez that Thomas does not.

   Thomas opens up his church to Vincent, his home, his heart.
