Description
The women of an insular, ultraconservative religious community grapple with reconciling a brutal reality with their faith. Through the backstory, we see a community of women come together in the aftermath of pervasive sexual assault to figure out how they might move forward to build a better world for themselves and their children. They discuss how to proceed after the exposure of vicious serial rapes perpetrated by the men of their own community who used livestock tranquilizers to drug female community members of all ages, violently raping them at night. Stay and fight or leave. They will not do nothing.
