In the picturesque landscape of Texas, Jack Harriman (a man accustomed to the mundane) navigates his life by a tranquil lake, taking on construction jobs to stay grounded. His friend Bob, the creative force behind the modestly successful cable access show Divine Access, spots a unique quality in Jack and invites him to appear as a guest speaker. The show features lively conversations with Rev. Guy Roy Davis and Pete, an eccentric who deeply believes in the mystical properties of pyramids.
Jack’s natural charisma and strong convictions quickly make him an overnight sensation, much to the chagrin of Rev. Davis, who feels his influence undermined. In a shocking twist, Rev. Davis is dismissed not only from the show but also from his grocery store job, where his strange antics—particularly involving a ventriloquist dummy that resembles Jesus—further tarnish his reputation.
Recognizing Jack’s burgeoning popularity, Bob decides to send him on a tour across Texas to share messages of hope and inspiration. Accompanying them is Nigel, Bob’s loyal sidekick, who leaps into action as a figurative safety net for attendees prone to fainting from divine revelations, a common occurrence at Christian revival gatherings.
During their travels, Jack encounters Marian, a perceptive woman who probes into his authenticity and the potential repercussions of following his guidance. Their adventure takes another unexpected turn when Amber, a lost and confused young woman, appears in Jack’s life. She soon becomes a guest at his home, prompting Jack to confront the implications of his newfound fame.
As Jack juggles the responsibilities of being a self-style guru, he faces the complexities posed by his devoted followers and unpredictable visitors seeking enlightenment. His own mother, Catherine, also decides to pay him a visit, adding another layer of difficulty to his already tangled life. With rising stakes, Jack finds himself teetering on the edge of a significant event that could dramatically reshape his fate—and those who look to him for spiritual guidance.
