A writer visits a quaint English Cathedral town and discovers its goings-on are stranger than fiction. When Evan J. Kirby, an eminent American expert on heaven and hell, arrives in Barrowcester to do some research, he finds the community in a less than blissful state.

When Evan delves into the true origins of the local saint, a macabre and romantic sequence of events begins to unfold.
