The Substance of Hope follows three people through their separate but intertwining stories.
The first makes his living providing and upholding alibis for other peoples' adulterous affairs, helping to ensure they don't get caught. He finds himself falling in love with a TV reporter who happens to be the wife of a client.
The second is a woman in an unhappy marriage who seeks comfort in Catholicism and from the handsome young priest who introduces her to it.
The third, in a moment of anger during his divorce proceedings, wishes he could have his wife murdered. But when a professional hit-man takes him up on the offer, he has to come to terms with the reality of what he wished for. |
