In a small university town, two old friends meet for the first time in twenty years. Father Michael, the priest with the leather jacket and the rock'n'roll guitar...and Jimmy, the cynical visiting academic. Twenty years ago, they'd played their music together and dreamed of making the big time. Now, together again by chance, the old cycle moves round once more. Mary, attractive available and in need of a man, draws them both to her. Just as another girl had drawn them both, so many years ago, when she cut the wounds of lost innocence and cruel betrayal that are about to open once again...
