On an island in Maine, two men of the cloth - a Bishop and a disgraced former priest - conduct an investigation into the disappearance of a young priest. As his story is recounted, we see the young priest, Edmond, and a parishioner, Sheila, meet. Sheila wants Riley, her eleven-year-old son who has Canavan's disease, to receive communion. Edmond tries to educate a child considered incapable of communication. As Edmond becomes more involved with Sheila and Riley, he begins to question his religious and human role.

The play has a final burst of clarity that's overwhelming ... this unsettling play, which also offers a lingering note of hope." -Akron Beacon-Journal "Immediate, resonant and relevant for believers and atheists alike ... the messages in CUSTODY will echo for some time" -Scene (Cleveland)
