THIS gripping true-crime tale lifts the lid on one of America’s most controversial religions as it chronicles the investigation into a shocking double murder in Utah in 1984. Spider-Man’s Andrew Garfield stars as fictional detective Jeb Pyre, a Mormon whose faith is shaken to the core as he investigates the killing of Brenda Lafferty (Normal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones, pictured) and her toddler. While Pyre and his Native American partner, Bill Taba (Yellowstone’s Gil

Birmingham), investigate the case in the present day, flashbacks show us how Brenda came to marry into the Lafferty family after meeting husband Allen (played by another Brit, The Serpent’s Billy Howle) at university. Meanwhile, a further timeline takes us back to the 1830s and the founding of Mormonism by Joseph Smith (Andrew Burnap), revealing how the religion — which now has millions of adherents around the globe — came to institute its controversial policy of polygamy.
