When the guy who plays Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) returns to the small town of Crockett Island amid the “arrival of a charismatic priest (Hamish Linklater),” the community gets worked up into a religious fervor.

There are strange visions (a dead cat on the beach) and striking visuals (an eerie candlelit vigil), in this exciting continuation of the hot priest genre. In a statement, Flanagan calls this his “favorite project so far.
