Tim Donovan is a Catholic priest with a guilty conscience-though not in the way you'd guess. And Katherine Donne is a Parisian socialite who long ago kicked her self-respect to the curb-for good and for ill. And much closer, we have a group of men whose fortunes, graying temples and positions in life are distinguished and enviable. But their morals? Anything but. And that's where Evan Reed comes in.
