church history
When Benjamin Steed and his family move to upstate New York in the early 1800's, they unwittingly settle in a town divided along religious lines. After their new hired help, Joseph Smith, turns out to be at the center of the uproar, each member of the Steed family must come to terms with their own beliefs in the face of heavy persecution.
