Emma is a good Amish girl during the day, who follows her community's traditions and principles. However, nobody but her Amish friend Rebecca knows that she is living a double life. While in the morning she is an Amish girl, at night the two friends sneak out together and lead a double life, going to clubs, flirting with boys, and falling in love, things that are forbidden in their community.
However, when Emma accidentally becomes a witness to a murder while out, her world is disrupted and her life and community are thrown into peril. Will Emma be exposed? Only time will tell.
