When nightclub & disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses her boyfriend shooting someone she is put in protective custody in the one place the police are sure no one will look for her in a convent! She dresses as a nun calling herself Sister Mary Clarence and finds it hard to accept the rigid lifestyle and the uptight Mother Superior.
By using her disco dance moves and singing talent to inspire the tuneless nuns’ choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community, but blows her cover. Soon the crooks are after her but find themselves up against the new reformed Deloris and the power of her Sisterhood.
