A devout yet questioning priest is sent to investigate a heretical sect that worships an unlikely saint. As he unravels the faith’s intricate web of myths and lies, he grapples with the nature of belief, truth, and the power of stories. Torn between duty and doubt, he is drawn into a deeper philosophical conflict that challenges the very foundations of his own faith. Rich with themes of religion, deception, and the weight of knowledge, this tale explores the struggle between conviction and skepticism in a vast, uncharted universe.
