The narrative explores the rise and fall of George Pell, a prominent figure in the Australian Catholic Church, who has faced serious allegations of sexual abuse.

Journalist Louise Milligan reveals disturbing accounts from victims, questioning Pell's knowledge and actions, and examining the broader implications of ambition and silence in the face of abuse.
