Sous l'Habit, la Fièvre Sœur Clara a toujours vécu dans l'ombre des murs du couvent Saint-Raphaël. Dévouée à sa foi, elle a fait vœu de chasteté, mais une soif d'absolu brûle en elle, un désir qu’elle n’a jamais osé nommer. Lorsqu’elle est envoyée en mission pour assister les malades d’un hospice isolé, elle ignore qu’elle vient de poser le pied à Poudain-Bassé, un lieu dont les murmures parlent d'interdits et de damnation. C'est là qu'elle rencontre Raphaël, un homme dont l’aura est une promesse de péché. Il est tout ce qu’elle a fui : la chair, l’arrogance, la tentation incarnée. Lui, amusé par cette nonne trop fière, s’amuse à la provoquer. Mais sous la soutane, il perçoit autre chose. Une femme en lutte, un brasier caché sous le marbre de la dévotion. Les jours passent, et ce qui n’était qu’un affrontement de principes devient un jeu dangereux. Chaque regard échangé, chaque frôlement accidentel les consume un peu plus. Clara tente de résister, priant avec plus de ferveur, mais la voix de Raphaël résonne dans son esprit plus fort que celle de Dieu. Et quand enfin il ose briser la dernière barrière, lorsqu’il murmure à son oreille que le ciel n’a jamais brûlé aussi fort qu’entre ses bras, elle vacille. Céder, c’est trahir sa foi. Résister, c’est trahir son propre cœur. Mais dans ce lieu oublié du monde, où les âmes perdues se cherchent, où le bien et le mal s’entrelacent, une seule vérité demeure : il n’y a pas de salut sans passion, et pas d’amour sans damnation.
