- Synopsis
- In the wake of the #MeToo movement, has it become easier to speak out about sexual assault in religious communities?Linda Wallheim, increasingly disillusioned with her religion, has begun marriage counseling with her husband, Kurt, a bishop in the Mormon Church. On other days, Linda occupies herself with happier things, like visiting her five grown sons and their families. When Linda&’s eldest son, Joseph, tells her his infant daughter&’s babysitter, a local teenager named Sabrina Jensen, has vanished, Linda can&’t help but ask questions. Her casual inquiries form the portrait of a girl under extreme pressure from her parents to be the perfect Mormon daughter, and it eventually emerges that Sabrina is the victim of a terrible crime at the hands of her own classmates—including the high school&’s golden boys and future church leaders. Linda&’s search for Sabrina will lead her to the darker streets of Utah and cause her to question whether the Mormon community&’s most privileged and powerful will be called to task for past sins.
