Vanessa Sinclair is about to marry her devoutly Catholic fiancée, Andre, who wants to save sex for their wedding night. As her wedding date draws nearer, Vanessa finds herself tempted by lustful thoughts and fantasizes about every man she meets. She goes to a confessional at Montreal's St. Andrew's Cathedral and confides to a priest about her dilemma. However, the man she speaks to, Nick Francis, is not actually a priest, but a carpenter who happened to be doing renovations when she dropped in. Nick, smitten with Vanessa, decides to keep up his ruse as a priest. "Father Nick" ingratiates himself into the lives of Vanessa's family and friends, who come to believe he is a real priest. While Nick becomes chummy with Andre, he seeks ways to sabotage the wedding, recruiting his sister Sandy to help him break up the impending nuptials.
