Bishop Henry Lapp is at the refreshment counter of the Colorado Ski Hi Rodeo when he hears a rifle shot. His only thought is of Emma, his soon to be wife. As he is running to find her, everyone else is running in the opposite direction. He glances into the arena and sees Jeremiah Schwartz lying on the ground. Jeremiah has come to Monte Vista to live with his grandmother, help her with the farm and try his hand at the local rodeos around the area. He\'s been done pretty well until now.

Naomi Miller has been seeing Jeremiah since he moved to town. They are both from Goshen, Indiana and have several friends from there in common. But Naomi has discovered that they have little else in common. Both are in their rumspringa, but Jeremiah has been running with the wrong crowd.

Several strange things happen in their Amish community over the next few days. The sheriff\'s investigation is coming up empty, and Henry and Emma do not want to get involved again in finding a killer. When Naomi and her best friend Katie Ann disappear, Henry and Emma go into action to do whatever they can to bring the girls back? Is their disappearance connected to Jeremiah\'s killer?
