Produit par les Productions Télé-Action Inc. en coproduction avec l'ONF, en association avec CBC et la participation de Téléfilm Canada.
Ce film de fiction inspiré en partie d'événements qui se seraient produits à Terre-Neuve et ailleurs au Canada relate les sévices sexuels subis par un jeune pensionnaire de l'orphelinat Saint-Vincent de la part du frère directeur de l'établissement, dont il est le «préféré». Comme Kevin, d'autres élèves sont soumis au même régime de domination. Mais comment se protéger ou se révolter contre de tels abus, quand au terrorisme de leur bourreau vient s'ajouter la conspiration du silence de la part des autorités tant ecclésiastiques que politiques?
