Released in theaters on March 22, Sweeney stars in the Andrew Lobel written and Michael Mohan directed film as Cecilia, an American nun of “devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside.” When Cecilia becomes pregnant, she soon realizes her once safe environment is surrounded by evil.
