Bad Habits, Holy Orders

Geordie lass Rebecca is unimpressed with her new lodgings, while Sister Francis has little time for an attempt to smuggle in some vodka. But soon enough, the time allows Rebecca to reflect on her relationship with her father.

Five modern young women place themselves in the hands of a Norfolk convent. Two of them have a fight at the top of a cathedral, a broken false nail is compared to world famine by another, and they all decide they need a night out. However, the nuns' calming, wise words appear to be having their effect and the girls are showing signs of paying attention.

The Swaffham nuns' guests must spend time with three different orders. They channel their charitable sides in two of the orders, helping the young homeless and the grieving elderly, but it is a 24-hour silence with the enclosed Poor Clares that challenges the outgoing women still more.

The sisters set the girls their final and toughest mission yet, to go home for a week and put to work the lessons they have learned.
