Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Bulgarian refugee Ivan becomes the founding prophet of The Temple of Holy Shit after fleeing a communist regime for Los Angeles during the 1970s, where he is struck by a falling meteorite that instills him with supernatural powers, and receives a life-changing message from the omnipotent God of Shit. Securing his entry into the United States by revealing the Social Security number on an unusual part of his anatomy, Ivan goes to work at a condom reconditioning plant before meeting Sprout Factory employee Sunshine Flower, who will soon become witness to his transformation into an idol for the downtrodden masses. After receiving his new powers and turning the public against the government by ushering in a new ager of miracles, however, the newly-christened prophet is abducted by the KGB and taken to Russia so that his psychic abilities can be harnessed and exploited by the USSR. Incredibly, Ivan manages to make a narrow escape and find his way back to Los Angeles, where the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Premature Ejaculations launches an all-out assault on the sacred Temple of Holy Shit.
