Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
The Lord works in mysterious ways, and when astronaut Bobby Paradise (David Strathairn) has a divine vision during a moon mission gone wrong, he returns to terra firma a changed man. Subsequently devoting his entire existence to God and the ministry in order to do better spread the gospel, Bobby soon builds a vast religious empire as one of the most successful televangelists to ever grace the airwaves. When a corporate merger sparks a government investigation that reveals both a searing sex scandal and a son about to be paroled from prison, Bobby will need every ounce of faith he has to make it out of the coming storm with the grace of God still on his side.
