Under The Banner Of Heaven on SBS Viceland – An original limited series inspired by the bestseller by Jon Krakauer, follows the murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar Jones) and her baby daughter in a suburb of the Salt Lake Valley.

Episode Two: Rightful Place
With a lead suspect in custody, the investigation uncovers more ominous questions than answers as the hidden history of the once-admired Lafferty family is exposed.
Episode Three: Surrender
The ongoing investigation leads Jeb Pyre and Taba into untrod woods where they unearth information that challenges Pyre’s own faith and draws more of the Laffertys into suspicion – and custody.
