The film takes place in 1857, in the Utah Territory during a tense time between Mormon settlers and the US government.

As the wagon train of settlers journey through the rugged terrain, they unknowingly enter into the heart of Brigham Young's Mormon territory. The Samuelson family, including Jonathan's father, Jacob, and his brother, Micah, are assigned to act as guides for the wagon train. However, tensions begin to rise as fervent religious beliefs clash and suspicions arise on both sides.

Emily and Jonathan, despite their different backgrounds, form a secret and forbidden love affair. Their relationship becomes a symbol of hope and unity between the two feuding parties, reminding them that peace is possible amidst the tension.

However, the situation takes a dark turn when Bishop Jacob Samuelson receives a secret order from Brigham Young to exterminate the wagon train. Jacob, driven by blind faith and paranoia, feels compelled to obey the orders, fearing that the wagon train may be spreading anti-Mormon sentiment or harboring enemies of their faith.

The wagon train's camp is attacked one fateful morning, catching the settlers completely off guard. In a horrifying and brutal massacre, men, women, and children are ruthlessly slaughtered by the Mormon militia. It is a tragic event that the survivors, including Emily and Jonathan, will never forget.

Amidst the chaos and bloodshed, Emily and Jonathan struggle to survive and come to terms with the horrific actions committed by their own people. Their love story becomes both a symbol of hope and a source of anguish as they grapple with the devastating loss and betrayal they have witnessed.

As the plot progresses, Emily and Jonathan find themselves torn between loyalty to their families and seeking justice for the innocent lives lost. They are forced to make difficult choices and confront the dark side of their community's fanaticism and blind obedience.

September Dawn sheds light on the historical events surrounding the Mountain Meadows Massacre, exploring themes of religious extremism, forbidden love, and the consequences of blind faith. It serves as a cautionary tale and a poignant reminder of the tragic consequences of intolerance and violence.
