A timely new comedy about nuns and chicken sandwiches with lots of dance music! Sister Mary Catherine is a young enthusiastic nun eager to promote the sisterhood to young women of her generation. She unwittingly falls in with a swarmy Hollywood TV exec and he convinces her that he knows the perfect solution to recruit more young women to take the vow. He creates the first reality competition ever filmed inside the convent called Break The Habit where the nuns are featured as competitors. Mary Catherine convinces the Reverend Mother to let the film crew in - and Our Lady of Perpetual Eleganza will never be the same.
