Stella Thibodeaux earns her living as a sex worker operating from a motorhome in the hot box that is the American South.
Nothing unusual there except, she has quite the gift: the men who sleep with her are cured of any illness.
Enter – the Vatican. Imagine a saint in these modern times. But a cure through a woman’s vagina? Well it’s just not a good optic. Let’s crate a martyr.
Enter – the Bronski twins, Michael and William. Two quirky, cold killers who approach their work with professional pride and follow their own idiosyncratic code. This should be an easy job right?
Enter – Father Jimmy Brown, the priest who first reported the miracles. He’s the one who put Thibodeaux in danger and he now moves to protect her. He’s got some experience from his past that will help with that.
What we have in Holy F*ck is a flagrant, sacrilegious, and entertaining thriller. Joseph Incardona exposes moral hypocrisy while asking who has the right to define sin, sainthood and salvation.
