Haunted by the crimes of his youth, Christopher returns to his hardscrabble neighborhood with hopes of starting an honest life. But even if he had the strength of a saint, Christopher would be hard pressed to stay clean. From the moment he steps back into his world, and a homeless street preacher threatens damnation, Chris is confronted with the unredeemable legacy of his past. Before the first beer touches his lips, a former partner in crime is welcoming Chris back into the gang of the local crime boss. And the enduring rage of his father quickly spoils his homecoming with bitter reminders of father-son alienation, rejection and failure. The lifelines of a mother's love and an Irish grandmother's acceptance cannot keep Chris afloat as he is pulled under by the weight of his father's judgment and his own self-recriminations. He tries to redeem the trust of his ex-girlfriend and wants a relationship with a daughter that doesn't know him. He returns to the church and lights candles for Divine guidance. He washes dishes in the neighborhood diner and is given an unexpected chance for a new life and love by its simple, kind owner. But as his hope rises, the forces of the past rise higher to crush him. Ultimately, standing in the jagged light of the church's front door, "Saint" Christopher must choose the path to redemption or destruction.
