Leah has spent her life adhering to the oppressive doctrines of her people, which dictate her choices and suppress her identity. As she grapples with her longing for freedom, Leah discovers secrets about her community and the truth about her own existence. Faced with impossible choices, Leah must summon the courage to break free from the confines of her sheltered life and pursue her own path, even if it leads to dangerous consequences.
