In Fatima, Portugal in 1917, the Virgin Mary shares three secrets with three peasant children, but the anticlimactic revelation of the third secret in 2000 leaves people wondering if the Church has divulged all of her words. In turn, Pope Clement sends his papal secretary, Colin Michener, to the Romanian highlands in search of a priest who may have the answers. Michener, though, faces many obstacles in particular Alberto Cardinal Valendrea who wants to suppress the secret.
