Alexandre Guérin habite la région lyonnaise. Cadre bancaire épanoui d'une quarantaine d'années, époux d'une femme aimante et père de cinq enfants, c'est un catholique pratiquant, tout comme sa famille. Un jour, après une conversation avec un camarade jadis scout comme lui, il se rappelle les abus sexuels dont, enfant, il fut victime de la part d'un prêtre pédophile, le père Bernard Preynat. Les faits sont prescrits. Mais, assailli de souvenirs douloureux, Alexandre décide d'entreprendre une enquête. Il entre en contact avec la psychologue de l'archevêché, Régine Maire. Par son entremise, il obtient un rendez-vous avec le cardinal Philippe Barbarin, archevêque de Lyon. Il découvre alors que malgré l'alerte de plusieurs parents, l'Église a étouffé l'affaire. Régine Maire organise une brève confrontation entre Alexandre et le père Preynat, qui se conclut par une prière commune quasi surréaliste. Malgré les nombreux courriers électroniques d'Alexandre, les autorités ecclésiastiques tergiversent et se défaussent. Pire, lors d'une messe, Alexandre constate que le père Preynat, maintenu en fonctions, se trouve toujours au contact d'enfants.
