Following the death of her father, attractive young Haley Lu Richardson (as Julina) moves with her mother Mary McCormack (as Leann) to a cult-like religious community. Implicitly, "Hillcreek" is a Mormon-type village somewhere in Utah; although not officially recognized by any law-abiding Church, these communities continue to thrive, in secret. Mother and daughter settle comfortably into the polygamist lifestyle, with Ms. McCormack becoming the newest wife for kindly Sam Hennings (as Merril)... In church, Ms. Richardson's teenage hormones kick into high gear after she sees handsome young Jack Falahee (as Ryder). When they meet, Mr. Falahee sinfully has his shirt unbuttoned. Then, we're off to the races. Richardson and Falahee arrange to meet secretly and kiss. The mutually attracted couple decide to be monogamous, of course, but fanatical leader William Mapother (as Ervil, "The Prophet") has other plans. "Escape from Polygamy" may not be possible... Damon Hill's story focuses on two of the most often related abuses present in these communities. First, there is the initiation of very young women into sexual relations, usually by a Godly older man. Second, there is the casting off of young men when they reach adulthood. The latter reason isn't explained, but it's obvious: this lifestyle needs an improper ratio of males to females in order to survive, so males must be disposed of... This movie takes a negative view of the practice, but be aware we are left with some "good" polygamists. There are increasingly implausible occurrences, but they are paced in a way which suspends most disbelief. And, there are some plot developments which will keep the viewer surprised and engaged. You can't be sure how this will end for Richardson and Falahee, the attractive starring duo. The elders get little to do, except for Mr. Mapother. Supporting victims Jake Weary (as Micah) and Presley Henderson (as Esther) are impressive playing a tweaked castaway and pregnant girl. ****** Escape from Polygamy (8/24/13) Rachel Goldenberg ~ Haley Lu Richardson, Jack Falahee, William Mapother, Jake Weary.

This movie was marketed as "Escape from Polygamy" and shown on the Lifetime network in August 2013. http://www.mylifetime.com/movies/escape-from-polygamy This is a pretty decent Lifetime movie about a 17 year old girl who gets told that God "told the prophet" that she was to marry him. It details her escape and a view into how the community is being lied to. I enjoyed the parts where we found out how the community was being brainwashed by the prophet and told incorrect things. The leading couple looks great together and the prophet was positively creepy, just as he should be. The ending had a twist that I didn't see coming at all.

This movie is actually worth watching. The actors are on point , the plots are flowing and its really interesting. I like the fact that it brings out the perspective of a woman in a polygamous marriage. Good job guys

This 2013 film deals with essentially a cult allowing for polygamy to exist while their prophet leader has been involved in all sorts of incestuous relationships. A widow and her daughter go to live among the group and the woman marries a man who already has 3 wives. Her husband seems to be quite a domineering person yet it turns out that he has practically nothing to do in the film with the exception of the ending. The daughter finds love with the prophet's son and near tragedy results when he banishes his son from the group. Why? He has designs on the daughter for himself. Suddenly, it comes out that the leader is quite a sadistic character, lacking any morality whatsoever.
