"The film focuses on Tony Comes, a firefighter from Toledo, Ohio, who was first sexually abused by a Catholic priest when he was a fourteen-year-old student at a Catholic high school. Feeling ashamed, Comes kept his secret for nearly 20 years but was forced to confront his past after discovering that the priest, Dennis Gray, was living on the same street as Comes, his wife, and their two young children. Comes decided to go public and bring a lawsuit against the priest as well as the Church officials who had neglected to take action despite years of complaints. The filmmakers gave Comes and his wife camcorders which they used to record many of the film's scenes. The film also features interviews with several other men who had been abused by Gray, and these survivors reunite to discuss their continuing struggles."
