Who would kill a priest? Let alone two priests. A TRIP TO ROME begins as the bodies of two Catholic priests are discovered in a car by the side of the road shot gangland style. We then cut to months earlier and follow the lives of Father Reynaldo Ruiz, Washington D. C.’s most celebrated and powerful priest and Father Patrick Healy a kind-hearted worker at Baltimore Catholic Charities shelter.
