Chief of Police Kate Burkholder arrives at the scene to discover a charred body. According to the coroner, the deceased, an Amish man named Milan Swanz. From what she's able to piece together, Swanz led a deeply troubled life and had recently been excommunicated. When her own brother is implicated in the case, Kate must dive deep into the Anabaptist culture, peering into all the dark corners of its history, only to uncover a secret legacy that shatters everything she thought she knew about the Amish themselves - and her own roots.
