Richard Burton (EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC), Dominic Guard (PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK), and Billy Connolly (TV's HEAD OF THE CLASS) star in this low-key thriller from THE WICKER MAN's Anthony Shaffer. When a hippie vagrant squats in the woods near an elite Catholic boys school, repressed Father Goddard's influence starts to wane on his brightest pupil setting off a battle of wills and manipulation and deadly secrets protected by the seal of confession.
