In the ashes of Appalachia, a new colony has formed. Led by the Prophet, residents have built a life in isolation from the evils of the world. Relying on God alone, sinners face stiff penalties for crimes as simple as taking medicine. For ten years, Andrew has worked to ensure the colony's residents get the help they need. Now, a series of events will take him from the gallows to the mountains, and force him to discover what home really is.
