Mo Zaltzman is a beloved Hasidic rabbi in a dusty desert town. When his congregation is violently attacked, police quickly arrest a young white nationalist who threatened them in the past, but Rabbi Mo doesn’t believe the troubled teen is a killer.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Salvador Litvak is a Hasidic filmmaker whose previous work includes the Passover comedy 'When Do We Eat?', making this his pivot to gritty thriller territory.
The 'neo-western with religious protagonist' format deliberately evokes 'No Country for Old Men' and 'Hell or High Water,' but replaces stoic masculinity with Talmudic reasoning.
