A comedic, spiritually-engaged rags-to-riches adventure set in 1st-century Jerusalem that uses religious satire and irreverent humor to explore faith, redemption, and self-worth.

Streetwise but down-on-his-luck, Clarence is struggling to find a better life for his family, while fighting to free himself of debt. Captivated by the power and glory of the rising Messiah and His apostles, he risks everything to carve his own path to a divine life, and ultimately discovers that the redemptive power of belief may be his only way out.
