Movie Info

Cadi (Liana Liberato), a 10-year-old girl in 1850s Appalachia, feels tremendous guilt over the death of her sister, and apparently her family blames her too. While visiting the grave of her beloved grandmother, Cadi sees a "sin eater," a person who can absolve sins. Though Cadi yearns for forgiveness, she realizes that the "sin eater" is false; instead she finds what she is looking for through Christianity.
