In an effort to escape her stern, legalistic upbringing,
Camilla Deardon runs away from home with a handsome young
Mormon man, Nathan. Married in the church, they raise
their daughters and hope for more children. But their
lives take a sudden turn when her husband, whom she loves
deeply, is designated for special honor by the church
elders. Nathan is given the honor of taking a second wife
and soon a new sister wife comes into their home. Camilla
is heartbroken and remembers the faith of her childhood.
She begins to question this revelation and is charged with
unfaithfulness to the Mormon teachings. She enters a
struggle for her life when elders call for blood atonement
for her disobedience. Forced to abandon her children, she
leaves them in the care of a Paiute Indian woman who
shares her faith. Camilla knows they'll be safe until she
can return for them.
