Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Frankie Paige was a Pittsburgh hairdresser who worked in a magical hair salon that somehow paid her a salary that was enough for her to afford a giant hipster loft. Despite being a hard-partying, promiscuous atheist, Frankie one day started receiving stigmatic markings, which got the attention of Father Andrew Kiernan, a former scientist who investigates modern miracles for the Vatican. Frankie's physical and mental plight grows more intense, and soon she's spewing the controversial teachings of Father Paulo Almeida, a priest excommunicated for his discovery of a lost Gospel that said Jesus didn't want churches built in his honor. The Vatican wants this blonde Messenger silenced, which puts Frankie and Father Kiernan on the run from... evil priests!
