Minnow Bly is a 17-year-old girl who’s spent the last 12 years of her life in a cult. Her entire family joined after her father was laid off from his factory job. They gave away all their possessions and went to live in the woods based on the teachings of a man known as The Prophet.

However, Minnow’s life changes forever when the cult is burned to the ground. She is arrested after an altercation and sent to a juvenile detention center. Minnow must now learn to protect herself and figure out who she can trust. She leans on her one friend, her cellmate, Angel, who teaches her all about life in juvie.

Minnow must also deal with the trauma of her past -- as well as the loss of both her hands. People have a lot of questions about her life in the cult which brings up some painful memories. The most persistent is FBI psychologist Dr. Wilson, who is preoccupied with uncovering the truth about the cult.
