In the late 1950s, in a small New England town, Reverend Tyler Caskey has suffered a terrible loss and finds it hard to be the person he once was. He struggles to find the right words in his sermons and in his conversations with those facing crises of their own, and to bring his five-year-old daughter, Katherine, out of the silence she has observed in the wake of the familyâs tragedy. Tylerâs usually patient and kind congregation now questions his leadership and propriety, and accusations are born out of anger and gossip. Then, in Tylerâs darkest hour, a startling discovery will test his parishâs humanityâand his own will to endure the trials that sooner or later test us all.
