What happens in The Borderlands from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 10 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The Vatican dispatches a small team to investigate reports of supernatural activity at a recently reopened 13th‑century church tucked away in the Devon countryside: Deacon, a wary religious brother; Gray Parker, a layman and technology expert; and Father Mark Amidon, a strict, rule‑oriented priest. Their mission is cautious and methodical, leaning on instruments, evidence, and careful dialogue rather than superstition, as they aim to separate doubt from any possible miracle.
