A Jesuit Tale begins when Mark, Tom and David meet at a Jesuit novitiate in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1968. Mark is looking for a worthy alternative to his father's professional ambitions. Tom is a fiery idealist, and David is an intelligent young man unsure of his sexuality and place in the world. In spite of radically different backgrounds and personalities, they become friends.

Tom's journey deeper into his Jesuit vocation, which leads him to Guatemala during a volatile period of civil unrest, sets the stage for the friends' greatest test of faith and loyalty. When Tom is taken captive by a Guatemalan death squad, David and Mark, no longer Jesuits, rush to his aid.
