A faith-centered ensemble drama where strangers encounter a mysteriously omniscient diner owner who challenges them to confront their lives and beliefs.

When five strangers with nothing in common come together at a remote roadside eatery, they place their orders with the diner's omniscient owner, who seems to know everything about them ... and is eerily reminiscent of Jesus Christ.
