Cadre bancaire épanoui d'une quarantaine d'années, époux d'une femme aimante et père de cinq enfants, c'est un catholique pratiquant, tout comme sa famille. Un jour, après une conversation avec un camarade jadis scout comme lui, il se rappelle les abus sexuels dont, enfant, il fut victime de la part d'un prêtre pédophile, le père Bernard Preynat. Les faits sont prescrits. Mais, assailli de souvenirs douloureux, Alexandre décide d'entreprendre une enquête. Il entre en contact avec la psychologue de l'archevêché, Régine Maire.
