One of the world's most secretive and ancient events - electing a new Pope - as seen through the eyes of a Cardinal trying to preserve his faith and avoid becoming ensnarled in a web of intrigues that has cast a shadow over Vatican.
When the Pope unexpectedly dies, Cardinals from all over the world rush to the Vatican, where they immediately sequester themselves. Digital devices are stashed, doors are locked, and windows are shuttered as they prepare for the election of a new leader. Cardinal Lawrence oversees the proceedings, assuming that the contest will come down to a battle between the reactionary, openly racist Cardinal Tedesco and the liberal progressive Cardinal Bellini. And matters soon turn complicated as rumours circulate, secrets emerge, and acts of sabotage are undertaken. Lawrence finds himself at the centre of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church.

It is a universal story. It could be a board room, or it could be politics, or it could be how to get on the field in the football team, and fight for that position in the squad. It could be the same story. And that's why I think in the end it's a universal power struggle story. That's what drew me to it.
