Custody of the Eyes
by Anthony Giardina

On an island in Maine, two men of the cloth — a Bishop and a disgraced former priest — conduct an investigation into the disappearance of a young priest.

As his story is recounted, we see the young priest, Edmond, and a parishioner, Sheila, meet.

Sheila wants Riley, her eleven-year-old son who has Canavan's disease, to receive communion.

Edmond tries to educate a child considered incapable of communication.

As Edmond becomes more involved with Sheila and Riley, he begins to question his religious and human role.

In need of her own spiritual guidance and companionship, Sheila challenges Edmond's humanity, while also threatening his priesthood.
