For years, Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) wished for a world free from the corrupt prophet of Juniper Creek, Roman Grant. Now that Roman appears to be out of the picture, Bill and his family can breathe easy... or can they?
Season 4 continues to tell the story of Bill and his three wives (Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny, and Ginnifer Goodwin) and now-nine children. A new maelstrom of personal issues swirl around Bill as he launches yet another business venture aimed at diversifying his assets: a Mormon-friendly casino he planned in Season 3 with Native-American partners. At the same time, and more surprisingly, Bill eschews a chance to seize the Prophet mantel at Juniper Creek (made available by the apparent demise of Roman Grant) in favor of an ever more high-profile calling: running for State Senate in Utah.
