Abuse of Power
Leaders in the polygamous sect known as the Order have incredible power over their members. Unfortunately, this power is often used irresponsibly and many women in the sect suffer as a result. Lu Ann Kingston, founder of Hope After Polygamy, meets with two other brave survivors: a woman who left at 18 after years of sexual abuse and mistreatment and a woman who was beaten by her father and forced to marry her uncle. Meanwhile Matt sits down with a clinical psychologist who has helped people leaving polygamous groups heal from trauma.

Child Brides
Even though Warren Jeffs will spend the rest of his life in prison, young girls within the FLDS are still at risk of becoming child brides. In his ongoing quest to protect the children, Matt Browning hears three powerful stories: First he meets with a woman who was forced to marry Warren Jeffs when she was just twelve years old. Then he sits down with two members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who led an investigation into the trafficking of young girls between the US and Canada. Finally, Matt talks to a young woman whose two pre-teen sisters were married off to a man claiming to be a new FLDS "Prophet."
