Bonnie lives in California with Don, her husband of fifty years.
All they wanted was a peaceful, simple life away from the troubles of the world, where they could worship God freely. That's why they moved to a quaint farm in Iowa. But that was before the guards, the guns and the big iron gate forced them all to live as slaves under the control of Harve and Agnes Osborn.

Young idyllic Melinda joined this group in college to understand God. She reluctantly moved to the farm with her husband Josh, but soon finds herself living and working in a grueling cult with her family. Years later, after she is told of the death of her husband and the fate that awaits her and her young coworker Shannon, she realizes she must escape. But escape from the cult is difficult and the road to freedom won't be easy.

Melinda must now start a new life in a nearby town with the help of a local family. Unfortunately, the leaders of the cult have other plans that will jeopardize the lives of Melinda and her family as well as the lives of many of her new friends.

Can Melinda find the strength and courage to fight back and save those she cares about? Or will she become another casualty of the devastating plans of the cult.
