When a cloistered monastic community of nuns inherit an old
house with 150 acres in up-state New
York courtesy of a mysterious benefactor, they are at
a loss as to what to do. Sister John and Sister Hyacinthe are therefore
dispatched to give the property the once-over and report back. A simple enough
assignment, except neither Sister is entirely prepared to deal with all that they
find.
From hippies on the lawn to suitcase stuffed with money
sitting at the bottom of a well, disguised cocaine and a wounded man who has
hidden himself in a closet to avoid Mafia hitmen, not to mention strange
apparitions in the night, It might have been better had Sister John and Sister
Hyacinthe remained cloistered in the abbey.
But it is amazing what two nuns can achieve armed only with
their faith and boundless energy – up to and including a shocking revelation or
two about ghosts, gangsters – and murder.
