In Gorham, Kansas, circa 1936, itinerant con man Moses Pray meets nine-year-old Addie Loggins at her mother's graveside service, where the neighbors suspect he is Addie's father.

Thereafter, Moses visits recently widowed women, pretending to have previously sold expensive, personalized Bibles to their deceased husbands, and the widows pay him for the Bibles inscribed with their names.

Much to Addie's chagrin, Moze invites "Miss Trixie"—and her downtrodden teenage maid, Imogene—to join Addie and him.
