An epic fable about religious leader Ann Lee, the founding leader of the Shaker Movement, who was proclaimed by her followers as the female Christ and went on to build one of the largest utopian societies in American history.

In 1997, thirty-nine members of the American cult known as "Heaven's Gate" committed the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil. This is their story.
