Plot

In a daring act of defiance, young lovers Havana and Peter pull off a brazen heist, swindling the daily takings of a bustling county fair. Their audacious act is captured on a hidden camera, thrusting their faces onto every front page in town and putting them squarely in the crosshairs of relentless law enforcement. In a desperate bid to escape their impending doom, they flee to the isolated tranquility of the Hutterite community in Canada, where Peter was raised. Under the stern gaze of conservative elders, they are compelled to marry, a ruse that Peter uses to conceal their stolen loot. Tragedy strikes when Peter perishes in a car accident, leaving Havana entangled in a web of deception and unspoken truths. Peter's resentful younger brother, Zeke, is chosen to fill his brother's shoes, a role that includes inheriting the reluctant Havana as his wife. As Havana frantically scours through Peter's possessions for the hidden treasure, Zeke grows suspicious of his brother's secret and the enigma that is his new wife. He discovers their ill-gotten wealth, along with a newspaper clipping that confirms his worst suspicions about his late brother's nefarious deeds. The revelation prompts him to manipulate Havana into performing household chores with the promise of the money, an act that soon escalates to unveiling the truth to the community elders. The elders, guided by their commitment to righteousness, decree that the stolen money must be returned to its rightful owners. Consequently, Zeke and Havana, who maintains her innocence about the source of the money, are dispatched on a daunting quest back to the US. Simultaneously, the corrupt FBI Agent Markowski, driven by greed and a lust for power, is hot on their trail, intent on seizing the money for himself. "Holy Matrimony" weaves a compelling tale of love, deception, and redemption against the backdrop of a close-knit community's struggle to uphold its principles in the face of unforeseen challenges.
