After the death of the Prophet, a man is called to lead his small religious sect as they anxiously await the end of the world they were promised. A twisting path of passion, devotion, envy and manipulation, this is sympathetic portrayal of a modern-day cult leader and his spiritual convictions. Devoted to a simple life of faith in unforgiving Kentucky backcountry, a small religious sect seeks spiritual awakening as their Prophet nears death and his son, Eamon, prepares to step forward as their new leader. But, in his last moments, the Prophet instead names newcomer David as his spiritual successor.
