Posen, Michigan. After the tragic death of her parents, Jonica Muller must return to the Amish community she left in shame. Tasked with settling her father's estate, she plans to keep her visit as brief as possible so she can return to start a life with Ephraim, a widower who has offered her and her five-year-old son the stability of a family. But her father's sister, Aenti Edna, is showing signs of a slipping mind. Caleb is a young farmer working Edna's land, trying to hide his own secret shame. When Jonica asks him to come to Edna's aid, events are set in motion that change everyone's ability to live in the shadows of their lives.
