Jessica and Amanda receive a vague message from Megan, a young girl who recently escaped the FLDS polygamist cult, asking for help getting her boyfriend, Chris, out. The girls enter into unknown FLDS territory so Megan can convince Chris to choose her over the harsh religion that has torn them apart. When things don’t go as planned and Chris starts behaving suspiciously, the girls worry they may have endangered Megan more than they’ve helped her.

Jessica and Andrea receive word from Jesse, a father desperate to escape the AUB polygamous group.

Meanwhile, former FLDS members, Megan and Chris, discuss the highs and lows of a life outside the group.

MaryAnn, a rule-breaking FLDS woman, reaches out to Jessica and Amanda about leaving the polygamous group. When MaryAnn’s family receives word of her plan to escape, the girls must take action sooner than expected.

Jessica recruits Rachel Jeffs, daughter of notorious leader Warren Jeffs, to help FLDS member, Carole, escape a “house of repentance”. After being caught in what the religion considers a highly forbidden relationship, Carole was sent to live far away from her family and friends to be closely guarded by some of the religion’s most elite and faithful women taught to protect the religion at all cost. Carole’s escape from polygamy grows increasingly tense and every attempt is made by the faithful to keep Carole trapped inside the group.

Andrea and Jessica receive word from Ethel, a young woman desperate to break free from the FLDS polygamous group. As a child, Ethel’s mother was ripped away from her by the church and she’s had a void in her life ever since. With the mission of finding her mother in mind along with the sisters’ help, Ethel attempts to escape not only her extremely devout grandmothers but also a highly dangerous area where many FLDS members, and an independent militia, keep a constant lookout for any outsiders who enter into their domain.

Rosie, a young FLDS woman, reaches out to her older sister and former member, Yolanda, for help leaving the group behind. The decision is painful as once Rosie leaves, ties with her beloved mother will be severed due to the religion’s teachings that anyone who escapes is considered an enemy of the church. With Jessica and Yolanda’s help, Rosie tries to secretly escape, but the situation begins to fall apart when the team realizes Rosie’s mother may have caught onto the plan.
