1487: Lena chooses to love her neighbors even though they are trying to kill her. The Pope invites all Catholics to join his army sent to destroy the heretic Waldensians. For centuries they have secretly practiced their religion. Now, hiding in alpine caves until they must fight. Outmatched, they cling to hope.

1844: James is done with decades of turning the other cheek. Bound by the limitations of their mountain valleys and Protestant faith.
