CALVARY’s Father James (Brendan Gleeson) is a good priest who is faced with sinister and troubling circumstances brought about by a mysterious member of his parish. Although he continues to comfort his own fragile daughter (Kelly Reilly) and reach out to help members of his church with their various scurrilous moral – and often comic – problems, he feels sinister and troubling forces closing in, and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal Calvary.
In a confessional, a parishioner talks to Father James about his childhood sexual abuse by a priest. He says he will kill James the next Sunday, because James is a good man and it would be worse for the Catholic Church than killing a bad priest and in any case the offender is now dead. James’ daughter Fiona comes to visit from London after attempting suicide. She becomes closer to him but is still upset that he abandoned her after her mother’s death to become a priest.
