Amish family father Jacob isn't content with primitive farmer life, unlike wife Annie, even accidentally beats to death the haughty 'English' farmer who extracts absurd prices from his already addicted kin and covert drinking mate Samuel. While she rejects anything modern and turns to her strict parents, Jacob wants their pre-teen son Caleb to taste the pleasures of modern life. A friend outside offers an opportunity to experience luxury in his villa, but they are tracked down by Annie and brother Thomas, Caleb returned home and custody awarded to her. This drives devoted father Jacob to desperate measures.—KGF Vissers
Amish wife and mother Annie's life turns upside down after her husband leaves to live among "normal Americans," however, things turn more dire when he returns, seeking custody of their son by any means necessary.
