Abbot Christopher Jamison, a Benedictine monk, believes that he can teach five ordinary people the value of silent meditation - as practised by monks in monasteries - so they can make it part of their everyday lives.
He has sent his five volunteers to undertake a daunting eight days in complete silence at a specialist retreat centre. This episode follows their journey into the interior space that time in silence reveals. They encounter anger, frustration and rebellion, but finally find their way to both personal and spiritual revelation.
