In 1976, at a Boston Police station, two policemen discuss the arrest of Fr. John Geoghan for child molestation. A high-ranking cleric talks to the mother of the victims, assuring her that Geoghan will be removed from the parish. An assistant district attorney visits the precinct and tells the policemen to keep the arrest secret from the press.
