Synopsis

20th September 1959. The confirmed existence of God is revealed to mankind. Mankind reacts.

An awareness of the presence of the invisible higher power that the human race has worshipped for millennia suddenly materialises within the consciousness of every person on the planet. Unforseen repercussions begin to ripple through a devolving society.

This original concept with intersecting labyrinthine storylines focuses on 4 groups of strangers thrust together who must face fundamental changes in personal beliefs that will challenge atheists and the faithful alike.

The strangers hear whispers of extraordinary events occurring around the globe. Miracles, or opportunists exploiting the hopeful? Is there any choice for the desperate parties but to undertake a dangerous crusade when the rewards could be life changing?

A downtrodden father wants to redeem the damage he has done to his family after falling asleep at the wheel and causing a fatal accident.

A lonely mother wants to help her autistic child overcome his challenges so that her husband who left them both will return to her and be part of the family again.

A fanatic takes violent exception to religious leaders claiming this God as their own one true God and hatches a plan of vengeance against those he feels have misled their followers. A morally confused employee enlists the aid of an ex-atheistic journalist to pull off a grand deception.

Accompanying this inconceivable revelation, truths emerge about a more realistic nature of God that appear to contradict accepted concepts of the afterlife, effectiveness of prayer, even the creation of the universe. Was religion and the Bible as we have been taught it really just a carefully fabricated man-made construct used in order to wield power over others?  

Did God's self-revelation occur because mankind had strayed so far off the path that intervention was needed, or had an evolutionary or spiritual checkpoint been reached? The reality is far more sobering.And then the unthinkable happens..
