The young priest meets Michael McDonough, owner of The Crow's Nest bar, while administering last rites to a fisherman on the docks of Galilee on his first day at the parish, and a friendship mentorship begins without the priest’s knowledge. A young waitress at the Crow’s Nest by the name of  Janie befriends the young priest and allows him into her troubled past.​
 
The fourth person is Father Gilday, the priest who died a few days before the young priest’s arrival.
Galilee is a story about the horror that can befall a fishing village when no one is piecing together the signs!
