Pastor Judah Greeves and his wife, Esther, live a sad, quiet life in Bethel Hollow, PA. The church they have led together for decades is dying. The small farm they built with their own hands has become unmanageable in their old age. Sparrow, their only daughter, ran away from home six years ago, and they don’t know if she is alive or dead. One night, they get a call from a stranger telling them their daughter has overdosed and died, so they pack up their pickup truck the next morning and drive 1,000 miles to identify her body and bring her back home. What happens next shatters their lives into a 1,000 pieces.
