In 1850's Appalachia, 10 year old Cadi feels responsible for her little sister's death, so she searches out the one man she feels can take away her sin - The Sin Eater. But in her quest for redemption, Cadi uncovers a dark secret that threatens to divide her family and community. Ultimately, Cadi shows them the truth in Jesus, reminding us that the condition is beyond human remedy: only Christ provides for absolution of sin.
