La petite ville d'Aldminster peut s'honorer d'un joyau architectural du XVIe siècle : sa cathédrale, autour de laquelle s'étend un magnifique domaine paroissial, la Clôture. Toute la population en est fière, comme de son chœur qui, chaque dimanche, fait résonner au rythme des musiques sacrées les murs de l'église. Aldminster est une petite ville tranquille où il fait bon vivre. Enfin, tout cela, c'était vrai avant que le conseil municipal n'exprime des vues sur les terrains de la paroisse. Depuis, l'atmosphère n'est plus la même au village. Des fissures sont apparues sur les voûtes de la cathédrale et dans le cœur des habitants. Désormais, il règne à Aldminster un climat malsain propice à faire resurgir les passions les plus viles.
