On a faded February evening, quiet despair came to one of the poor immigrant apartments in Brooklyn - Annie’s husband, Jim, closed the door behind his pregnant wife, turned on the gas and fell asleep forever. By night, when the fire was extinguished, the young widow had already been taken under the wing of Brooklyn nuns from the Catholic order. From that day on, the fates of Annie, her daughter Sally and the sisters-nuns were intertwined for many years. How they are intertwined with the life of the milkman, Mr. Costello, a widower with a living wife - a cripple suffering from dementia. The leisurely romance that gradually flares up between Annie and Mr. Costello puts all the characters in front of a difficult choice. What is sin? What is mercy? And what is redemption?
