Corianne Bennett, an American anthropology student, struggles to find a topic for her master's thesis. Eventually, she finds one that captivates her interest, and it leads her to explore her faith, to learn its roots. While this is going on, she must decide if she will face the issues arising in her family and other aspects of her personal life. As events trigger a crisis, she gets an opportunity to be transplanted into an adventure that carries her halfway round the world, and thrusts her into the tension between religious history, the modern reality, and truth.
