      Gregory Barret, a classmate of Father Dowling, left the priesthood twenty-five years ago. Now, after all these years, a woman brings a multi-million dollar suit against him alleging he sexually exploited her as a child. Barret is considering a countersuit when his accuser reveals that she has a son and claims the son is his.
