The story

In 1982, Tom Bird, an ambitious and charismatic Lutheran minister in America's mid-west, falls in love with one of his parishioners, Lorna Anderson, and together they make plans to start a fresh life in New Mexico. Within a short space of time both Bird's wife and Anderson's husband are dead. The clever staging of the two murders almost fools the authorities but for the suspicions of a highway patrolman, John Rule, who pursues his own investigation as a matter of conscience.
