Ideas of loss and search are the lines along which the story of I Am Not a Mormon unfolds. A daughter mysteriously disappears. A father refuses to surrender to the numbing paralysis brought about by that event. Mormon does not accept the invader, nor does he grant it the ground on which to pitch camp within his emotional landscape.

Amid the emptiness that has overtaken his inner world, Mormon refuses to let absence become final and embarks on a search through the frozen and desolate landscapes of a planet Earth from which humanity seems to have withdrawn.
