The rules of the annual Retreat imposed on the teenage boarders at St Martins convent school in Dublin 2 are clear and strict: five full days of contemplation and prayer, leaving the Sister Chapel and its grounds is forbidden. But for some of them, these rules are made to be broken. Kitty, Mary, Bernadette, Bridie and Treasa are five girls from very different backgrounds, united by their need to break out from the often cruel constraints of convent life - and by an experience too awful to talk about until they are adults.
