Selah is a teenage girl who is living in a remote forest compound belonging to a polygamist cult.

After fighting with one of the Sisters, Selah is ordered to deliver leftovers to a small, dark hut, where menstruating females are sent because they are considered "unclean".

During the walk, the Wives discover that Selah is menstruating, and she is forced to the back of the group with banished Wife, Sarah.

When she sees a car driving on a road, she has a fantasy of herself inside it, dressed as a normal teenager.

The Shepherd plucks the dead Wife's grieving young child off of the unlit funeral pyre, and throws her to the ground.

Meanwhile, the Shepherd beats one of the Sisters, Tamar, for refusing to lead the group after announcing that she spotted a potentially promising location ahead, further eroding Selah's trust.

They also discover the Shepherd's dead body suspended between two trees, a pair of ram's horns placed on his head like a faun.
