Lizzy leaves behind a caved-in mine where her father, Tarp Gentry, and friends, are presumed dead. She is cleverly seduced into following Preacher Moses across the Mojave Desert where she's exposed to the many sides of the man she has chosen over her father. With his only son dead, Moses has new "legacy" plans for young Lizzy. They ride for the California coast and the promise of glory and riches in the name of God. Lizzy is enamored, but not all is as it appears.
