About I Confess

Father Michael Logan is placed in an agonizing predicament. After hearing a murderer's confession, he's morally bound by the sanctity of the confessional, and therefore is unable to reveal the killer's identity to the police. As the investigation intensifies, circumstantial evidence points towards Father Logan himself, making him the prime suspect. Trapped between his sacred oath and the threat of wrongful conviction, the priest must navigate a treacherous path, where silence could cost him everything.
