A tense identity-swap drama exploring faith, persecution, and unlikely solidarity between a Muslim cleric and a Christian priest forced to live each other's lives.

A terrorist Muslim group calls for the execution of Sheikh Hassan for refusing to join their organisation. At the same time, a priest ,Marcos, is also facing death threats. Both men seek help from the government, who puts them under the witness protection program, giving each man the other's identity.
