Napínavá séria sleduje bývalého pastora, ktorý teraz radí polícii pri vyšetrovaní zločinov s náboženským podtextom. Keď sa zdanlivo idylické vidiecke prostredie ukáže ako úkryt pre temné tajomstvá, protagonista musí čeliť nielen vonkajším hrozbám, ale aj vlastným vnútorným démonom. Séria kombinuje prvky detektívky, psychologického trileru a nadprirodzeného hororu a ponúka pútavé rozprávanie, ktoré skúma hranice viery a zla.
