When ambitious young writer Rudy Quest gets drawn into the film business, he uncovers a series of biblical frauds used to manipulate a spiritually starved audience, a discovery which will ultimately threaten his life. As he delves through an entrenched and powerfully motivated religion, Rudy is set for a blazing confrontation with a doctor, a church leader and a film director.
