In modern day Kuala Lumpur, a rescued sex worker named Josephine meets an unexpected guide in the form of St. John Eudes, who shows her how the unlikeliest of people can make the greatest of changes in a positive way. Follow Josephine as she takes a trip across time and space to 19th century France, where she peeks into the life of Rose Pelletier – a young girl growing up on the island of Noirmoutier, in a time when France is still coming to terms with the aftershocks of the French Revolution – and her journey towards becoming Mother Mary Euphrasia, the foundress of an international congregation that promotes rights and empowerment of women, girls and the marginalised to this day.

In the first Act, Josephine and St. John Eudes follow Rose through the early stages of her life, witnessing how she seemed to be a contradiction to the people around her. The tragic loss of her parents led to Rose being placed in a boarding school where she had childhood dreams of being a nun. Her penchant for bending the rules led her to the Refuge, a shelter run by the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Refuge, which was, in fact, founded by Fr John Eudes. Taking on a challenge from her headmistress, Rose eventually became a nun in this congregation, adopting the name Sister Mary Euphrasia and soon Mother Mary Euphrasia when she is appointed as Mother Superior of the Refuge. Mother Euphrasia sees great potential in uniting the various convents operating independently throughout France through establishing a Generalate, but meets with initial resistance from some of her sisters and the Archbishop. With support from her closest mission partners, Count Augustine and Countess D’Andigne and other friends, she is finally given the approval needed by the Pope to set up the Generalate.

In the second Act, Josephine and St. John Eudes continue to follow Mary Euphrasia and her friends as they help the poor and marginalised. Euphrasia faces problems as the sisters of the Good Shepherd are bound to their convents under the rule of monastic enclosure, and Bishop Angelbault refuses to give them approval to leave. Mary Euphrasia and Count Augustine meet Ashura (representing many women who experience difficulties and who remain unnamed). She is a slave from the Congo, who they offer protection in their shelter. While Ashura is at first suspicious of their helping hand, Euphrasia wins her over with her sincerity. Euphrasia also has to deal with several problems, including the death of her close friends and a growing number of requests for assistance in the work that is needed to be done. When the Bishop continues to oppose her, she decides to build a tunnel for the nuns, to give them easy access to the mission field and to help them. Then it is time for goodbyes: Euphrasia must part with Ashura, who has been inspired by Euphrasia’s compassion and zeal and wishes to help others in different lands across the sea. Josephine is thus brought back to the present.
