Tom Allen (Simon Burke) is a 13-year-old postulant at a Catholic seminary outside Melbourne. It is 1953, when boys still began training for religious orders in their early teens. Tom is constantly in trouble – for wetting his bed, showering in the nude, being late. He spends long hours in the chapel, praying for guidance, but his impure thoughts terrify him. The priests and brothers who teach him struggle with their own desires, and argue about the need for repressive discipline. Most of them, staff and boys, have doubts about their vocation. Through the loneliness, fear and shame, Tom begins to ponder his future.
