The disturbing faith system leads Laura and Tye «down a path of child abuse, neglect and imprisonment,» the film's press release reads. «In order to keep their younger siblings safe and to free themselves from the shackles their parents have created, the older children band together and risk a harrowing escape to alert authorities and save their family.»In ET's clip, Laura watches while her husband ties two of their children to the banister at the top of the house's stairs.

The whole family wears white linen clothing and stands in front of a wall covered floor to ceiling in framed photographs of the children.«We have found where the enemy planted his seeds of evil,» Tye says as he finishes knotting the rope around his son's back.
