What was the woman's secret?

I am confused on one thing-maybe I missed it-the woman that was injected the heroin-what was her secret that the kids were afraid of? I know why she was killed but what was that secret?

Not a bad B thriller. The acting helped although the directing and editing were a little subpar. Slater as a priest, I almost started laughing out loud at first but he was not to bad. Molly Parker was also good.

Not bad thriller although you could kind of figure out who was the killer way before the ending.

If on cable give it a chance.

6 out of 10.

I'm guessing you didn't watch the ending or if you did you'd have to draw some conclusions. The lawyer was the bad guy and some how Mrs. Gallagher find that out. And the kids must've been serving as her supplier or buyer. Im also guessing that's the confession the other priest heard or possibly he heard the confession from the lawyer. In any case everything is wrapped up nice and clean and Father Clemens continues as pastor of St. Dominics. I give it 3 out of 10.

I saw this on cable yesterday and I thought it was decent. Slow start and there are some plot holes, but the story and suspense pick up. I give it a 6 out of 10 as well. I don't see what the big deal is about Slater playing a priest, plus he was one who had started to question his faith. Best movie ever, no, but it's watchable.
