Who is in Wake Up Dead Man and what’s the story

From the press release:

the film concerns the unraveling of an upstate New York parish when one of their own inexplicably dies before their eyes. In proper Blanc fashion, let’s get to the hole at the centre of this donut: When former boxer turned priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it’s clear that the congregation is in dire straits.

Wicks’s modest but devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), wary groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly wound lawyer Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), reclusive author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny). 

After a shocking and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) seeks the services of renowned detective Blanc (of course) to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

Here’s that trailer:
