Set in 2005, CATHEDRAL CANYON is the story of a Phoenix, Arizona area criminal/businessman, Ryan McBride, (Winsor Harmon) who has spent the last few years tiring of his main occupation as the go-between and facilitator for criminals and the City establishment. He desires to do something more with his life and sees the booming real estate market as his ticket out.
McBride positions himself in a real estate deal in which construction is to be done by a polygamist offshoot Church whose use of child labor allows for massive profits for the church (cult).
When McBride happens by accident upon a young girl from the cult, Ruthie, (Noelle Wheeler), a chain of events is set in motion that will change things for all of them forever.
