20世纪60年代,在自由开放的大环境下,古老的爱尔兰仍保持着古板和保守的风气。在这里,所有被认为堕落的女孩都要被送入玛德莲女子学院接受感化,而等待他们的不是和风细雨,而是无尽的黑暗与绝望。
玛格丽特(Anne-Marie Duff 饰)在家族婚礼上被堂兄奸污,这件事在婚礼现场口耳相传,她的委屈并未得到伸张,反而被作为“不洁的女孩”送走;活泼漂亮的伯纳黛特(Nora-Jane Noone 饰)是男孩们追逐的对象,她为了自己的“轻佻”付出了代价;罗丝(Dorothy Duffy 饰)未婚先孕,为了所谓的前途被迫放弃了自己的孩子。
三个女孩来到了玛德莲女子学院,她们还不知道,这是一个有来无回的绝望之地……
