Vera, a vivacious and possibly lost woman, is contemplating becoming a Catholic nun but has never considered celibacy one of her virtues. Her situation is complicated by the onset of visions and rapturous prayers, leading to the audience becoming characters from her past and saints in her preset. As Vera’s story unfolds, it is intertwined with other women’s experiences exploring the connection between body, spirit, and sexuality. Along the way, the audience becomes integral in helping Vera make some of the biggest decisions of her life, starting with what shirt to wear.
