The story

A young cardinal from New York City, Lenny Belardo, becomes the pope, the head of the Catholic Church, and the youngest since John Paul II, when the leading contenders of the papal conclave fail to win election.

In one of his first acts he decrees that common people are not worthy to gaze upon the pope's face, and appears to the public on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica shrouded in darkness.

Alarmed by his radical changes to the Church, several senior cardinals begin a plan to try to control the pope and dissuade him from even more ideas dangerous to the Church.
