    Witness follows police officer John Book who must protect young Amish boy Samuel, the sole witness to a murder. Samuel saw the crime while visiting Philadelphia with his mother Rachel. As outsiders in the modern world, they become targets and Book takes them into hiding in the Amish community. Book must integrate himself into their simple lifestyle and pastoral culture to keep Samuel safe. Over time, Book finds himself welcomed by the Amish and beginning to fall for Rachel, though dangers from the outside still loom.
