Every year, over 60,000 missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called Mormons) are sent worldwide to share their gospel. The Mission follows four American LDS teens called to Finland—a land known for its secularism and skepticism. Leaving behind their families and religious communities, they face one of the most emotionally and mentally challenging experiences of their lives. As they confront homesickness, language barriers, exhaustion, and daily rejection, these young missionaries are pushed to their limits, deepening their faith along the way.
