Set in a secretive offshoot of the Mormons that still practices plural marriage, Jordan, a young man expelled as a teenager from his community for innocently
holding hands with a half-sister, returns to Utah to defend his mother. His polygamous father has been found dead, and one of his wives - Jordan's mother - is in jail accused of the crime.
