Magadalene-søstrene
Irland i 60'erne. Margrets synd er, at hun bliver voldtaget af sin fætter, Bernadettes at hun er smuk og Roses at hun er ugift mor. De tre placeres mod deres vilje i et kloster og behandles som slaver. Reglerne i klostret er meget strenge, pigerne skal knokle 364 dage om året og udover det hårde arbejde bliver de sultet, pryglet og ydmyget på de værst tænkelige måder.
