На фоне мирного ночного неба горит сарай... Сара Кауфман попросила разрешения у старейшин своей общины нарисовать мурали на нескольких амишских амбарах. Каждая была оформлена как старинный лоскутный квилт, символизируя часть амишских традиций, которые любила Сара. Эти произведения искусства должны были привлечь больше туристов в долину Хоум, страдающую от плохой экономики. Но вместо этого они принесли беду.
Один за другим амбары поджигают и уничтожают... Пожары от поджогов распространяют страх среди общины - как среди амишей, так и англичан. Теперь Сара задается вопросом, наказывают ли её за гордыню или здесь действует более злонамеренная воля.
Как посторонний, следователь по делам о поджогах Нэйт Маккензи с трудом расследует места преступлений, придерживаясь амишских обычаев. С Сарой в качестве проводника, он симпатизирует простым людям и их незамысловатому образу жизни. Пока бушуют пожары, подвергаются испытанию убеждения, ставится под сомнение образ жизни, и раскрываются семейные тайны. После разрушений люди долины Хоум должны объединиться, чтобы восстановить свои амбары и надежды на будущее.

With Sarah as a guide, they gradually began to warm to the 'Plain People' and their simplicity. As the fire raged, many beliefs were challenged, the existence called into question and family's secrets unveiled.
