When a mysterious and plain-looking woman named Catherine Yougoubian forces her way into the life of the crippled Hugh Norreys, she brings a message from a dying man he once loathed. The patient is John Gabriel, a former MP and war hero known for his vulgarity and opportunism, yet Catherine claims he is the legendary, saintly 'Father Clement.'
