Ce documentaire a la particularité « de confronter directement des victimes de prêtres pédophiles, en caméra cachée, avec leurs agresseurs ». Il « met en cause la hiérarchie épiscopale dans la faiblesse — voire l’absence — des sanctions dans les cas de pédophilie », dénonçant l'hypocrisie de l'église polonaise et l'impunité des prêtres agresseurs.

The film follows documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney as he examines the abuse of power in the Catholic Church system through the story of four deaf men — Terry Kohut, Gary Smith, Pat Kuehn and Arthur Budzinski — who set out to expose the priest who abused them during the mid-1960s. Each of the men brought forth the first known case of public protest against clerical sex abuse, which later lead to the sex scandal case known as the Lawrence Murphy case. Through their case the film follows a cover-up that winds its way from the row houses of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, through Ireland's churches, all the way to the highest office of the Vatican.
