Philip Abubakar, a local branch leader for the LDS church, concentrates on guiding a small band of seven missionaries through a perilous landscape. Alongside him are six African missionaries—Elder Menti, Elder Meyers, Elder Gaye, Elder Nyanforth, Elder Selli, and Elder Forkpah—as they find themselves stranded in Monrovia amid the First Liberian Civil War. With their ability to conduct missionary work cut off by the fighting, they devise a careful plan to reach the northern border near Sierra Leone, where they hope to continue their preaching without facing immediate danger.
