Elnath is one of the Mormon missionaries on the Turtle Mountain Reservation. He considers turning his missionary partner, Vernon, in for violating the rules of the church because he suspects that Vernon is having sex with Grace, but Elnath decides to confront him instead. This confrontation strains Elnath and Vernon’s relationship, and they ultimately seem to decide to leave the reservation before their scheduled year of living there is up because they find the conditions too difficult to endure.
