Judith has been visiting her mother, Stephanie, in prison once a month for the last eight years. Neither of them can bring themselves to talk about what brought them here - or about Nathaniel...
When Stephanie first meets him, she is a struggling single mother and Nathaniel is a charismatic outsider, unlike anyone she's ever known. In deciding to join the small religious cult he has founded high on the moors, Stephanie thinks she is doing the best for her daughter: a new home, a new life, a new purpose.
Judith has never trusted Nathaniel, but even she can't foresee the terrible things that lie ahead. Her restlessness and questions unsettle the children who've never known life outside the cult - all except loyal Moses, who will do anything to be her friend. Meanwhile, as Stephanie slowly surrenders herself to Nathaniel's will, tensions among the followers deepen, faith and doubt collide, and a horrifying act of violence changes everything. In the shattering aftermath, no one seem safe, and for Judith and Moses the biggest leap of faith is still to come...
