  An isolated farming community comes under the spell of the charismatic yet mysterious preacher, Pastor O’Hare. While his unorthodox ministry, charming personality, and promise of redemption enflames the locals, Tania Simpson is not convinced. Does the Pastor have more than salvation on his mind as he takes advantage of her husband’s ecstatic conversion and sets up his makeshift church in their top field? Rallying friends and family, Tania leads the Simpson clan in a searing battle of wits and wills to reclaim her husband’s mind, body – and land.
