Synopsis
Inspired by real-life events, Roch Thériault (Luc Picard), the head of a strange commune, lives with 2 men, his 10 wives, and his 23 children. While visiting Burnt River, Ontario, a social worker (Polly Walker) suspects that the women of Thériault's commune are being abused. Despite the indifference of her co-workers, she undertakes an investigation that leads to terrible discoveries; a dead child, bizarre rituals, and serious cases of physical and psychological torture. In doing so, she puts her career and her life on the line. However, she is ready to overcome all obstacles to free the members of the community from Thériault's grip. She must also confront Thériault, who manipulates people and the system with astonishing ease, including court-appointed investigators.
