Set in the bucolic town of Angie, Louisiana, The Lord's Acre tells the story of Eli Woodbine, a young boy who watches helplessly as his fundamentalist parents give in to their increasing sense of desperation and paranoia, living in a world where they can no longer see any hope or reason for existing.
A desperate family falls in with a charismatic church leader, but when he abandons his followers at their compound in the woods, they must learn to not only fend for themselves, but also maintain their sense of faith in a dimming world.
