Spoilers ahead
As Rachel McKnight, a devoted member of a fundamentalist Mormon community in Utah, celebrates her fifteenth birthday, she experiences a life-changing moment prompted by an unexpected auditory revelation. The serendipitous find of a blue cassette tape featuring a cover of “Hanging on the Telephone” by an unknown rock band ignites a deep-seated fascination within her. Shortly after this discovery, when she finds herself pregnant, Rachel believes that her miraculous conception is a divine act, reminiscent of the Virgin Mary’s immaculate pregnancy. However, as the reality of her situation begins to unfold, her community turns against her, scapegoating her brother, Mr. Will, for her predicament and driving him away.
