Levi Motley is an aimless rambler fleeing his latest personal tragedy. Moussa Diab is a spiritual pilgrim journeying to a Trappist monastery. When Levi spots Moussa hitchhiking down a rural Kentucky highway, their lives become ensnared in a decades-old mystery unfolding in the bourbon capital of the world, Bardstown.

Levi delivers the young pilgrim to his destination. Three days later, Moussa's body is discovered on a nearby riverbank. Within twenty-four hours, a local man confesses to the killing.
