The unsuccessful lounge singer Deloris van Cartier finds herself in a fatal situation in 1970s Philadelphia: she witnesses a murder. The murderer is none other than her married lover, Curtis Shank. As a significant figure in the underworld, there can be no witnesses for him – thus, Deloris's life is in danger. After a thrilling chase by Curtis's henchmen, police officer Eddie Souther sees no other option for Deloris than hiding in a convent. Her new home is far from the vibrant ease of her former life.

With her new identity as Sister Mary Clarence, her everyday life is shaped by the strict rules of the convent and the scrutinizing gaze of the Mother Superior. The departure from her old life and the adjustment to monastic living present immense challenges for Deloris. She must get used to the humility and simplicity of convent life, which stands in stark contrast to her previous lifestyle.

All that remains for Deloris in this bleak time is her love for singing. In search of an emotional home, Deloris tries to find resonance in the nun choir, but her fellow sisters' singing abilities leave much to be desired. However, her musical talent and spirited nature set in motion impulses that slowly but surely transform the choir. Under her guidance, the songs become more vibrant and expressive, and the choir gains popularity.

But with the choir's increasing success, the events in the convent escalate. The attention of the media and the outside world on the convent grows, and the protection of the convent walls begins to crumble. Deloris and the nuns must confront how to deal with this new reality. The tensions between the old and new ways of life, between tradition and change, reach a climax, and the convent is put to a severe test.

Deloris's journey from unsuccessful singer to inspiring choir leader, and her transformation from a self-centered diva to a compassionate friend of the nuns, are central elements of this captivating story. It is a tale of transformation, solidarity, and the power of music that can be found in unexpected places.
