Synopsis of Under the Banner of Heaven

Jeb Pyre is a detective with the East Rockwell police in Utah and a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Alongside his partner, Detective Bill Taba, he investigates the murder of a Mormon mother and her young daughter, a crime that seems to be connected to the Church itself.

The series is created by Dustin Lance Black, stars Andrew Garfield, and streams on FX on Hulu.
