Chosen (2016) Plot Summary & Ending Explained

The story concludes with Jodie, a boy with extraordinary powers, leaving his small town after a tragic series of events. Throughout the season, we learn that Jodie’s powers are tied to his mysterious parentage—specifically, that he was born from a cultist mother who was seduced by a sinister, supernatural influence. It’s revealed that Jodie himself is not the messianic figure of goodness but a product of darker forces—namely, Lucifer. His powers originate from an unholy lineage, and his birth was orchestrated to serve the agenda of Lucifer’s cult, potentially to bring about chaos and undermine Christian faith. The town’s people, initially amazed by Jodie’s healing abilities and resurrection powers, come to see him more as a savior or a divine figure, but his true nature holds a much more sinister purpose.

As Jodie’s journey progresses, we see him grapple with questions about his identity and purpose, especially after learning the truth about his biological origins. His mother’s lies and secretive past fuel his anger and sense of betrayal, prompting him to leave the town in search of answers. The climax reveals that Jodie’s powers are not divine but are related to a pact with dark forces, leading him to ascend to the highest position in the United States—becoming the President on Air Force One. The show hints that his ultimate goal, or at least the aim of those controlling him, is to initiate a new world order under Lucifer’s influence, beginning with the destruction of Christian faith to establish a new global dominance.
