Confessions Of A Justified Sinner

Synopsis:
In this dark thriller, Robert Wringhim's powerful faith in predestination means he knows his name is in the Book of the Saved. He will be going to Heaven and nothing he does can change it. Looks at what a man will do when freed (in his own mind at least) from any moral restraints. When Wringhim's religious certainty is combined with the devious whisperings of a mysterious figure known as Gil-Martin, he finds himself caught up in a blood-soaked life of criminal activity. Hogg's superb tale of good, evil and the sometimes thin boundary that separates them was a major influence on the writing of Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde

Notes:
Based on James Hogg's classic 1824 novel, Confessions of A Justified Sinner

In Loreto there is a Holy House, a divine and wondrously flitting house. A vessel for the holy. But now its in Sams house. And Sam cant figure it out. But Sam knows he must. Its not every day a miracle happens and your house becomes the vessel that contains the vessel that contained Mary and Mary is the vessel that contained our Lord. This symbol of faith and transformation comes crashing into a contemporary city as Sam races through 24 hours dealing with trapped parents, girlfriends and dentists to find meaning in this darkly comic odyssey.
