After a woman uses heroin and dies by suicide, a documentary-like montage unfolds, tracing the troubled history of Exeter School of the Feeble Minded. The institution’s grim past is laid bare through clips that reveal years of abuse toward its patients, its slow decline, and ultimately its abandonment. Years later, Patrick volunteers to help Father Conway renovate the derelict site. Conway, who feels Patrick has squandered opportunities by not pursuing college, believes that God has a special plan for him. After a brief discussion with Greer, a local junk man, Conway and Patrick decide to leave for a weekend away from the bustle of town.
