Joy Risker falls for Sean Goff, a self-styled Christian polygamist pastor who runs a small church in a rural community, and agrees to become his second wife believing she is following God's plan. The film traces how that decision turns into isolation: Goff cuts Joy off from her family and friends, punishes her when she questions him, and uses scripture to demand obedience from his wives and congregation. Interviews with women who eventually left the church describe the same pattern of control, filling in details Joy herself could not see while inside it. The documentary lays out the mechanics of the abuse plainly, showing how a small religious community can double as a closed system where one man controls money, marriage, and belief at once. It does not dwell on theology so much as on the practical machinery of coercion, tracking how faith gets repurposed as leverage. Joy's story anchors the film, but the other former members' accounts are what confirm Goff's methods were not a single marriage gone wrong but a deliberate, repeated pattern.
