Alex Bernier (Ledger) is a member of an arcane order of priests known as
Carolingians. When the head of the order dies, Alex is sent to Rome to
investigate mysterious circumstances surrounding the death. The body
bears
strange marks on the chest which may or may not be the sign of a Sin Eater
(Furmann), a renegade who offers absolution, last rites and therefore a path
to heaven outside the jurisdiction of the church. Alex enlists the aid of his old
comrade Father Thomas (Addy) and of a troubled artist (Sossamon) upon
whom he once performed an exorcism. He soon finds himself plunged into a
mystery only to find himself at the heart of it.
