The Presentation Sisters and Sisters of Mercy of St. John's, Newfoundland are largely unknown to the public. Despite no new nuns joining the convents in years, the elderly sisters continue to dedicate themselves to helping others. They have shifted their focus from education to supporting prisoners, women, and the poor, as well as providing healthcare and elderly care. Many people rely on the sisters' work, including those who receive aid, prisoners who receive counseling, and former sisters who require care themselves. The documentary follows the lives of these dedicated women as they prepare to leave their soon-to-be-closed convents, community health centre, and medical wards.
