A distressed Chinese-American pastor in his 50s, Zhao, harbors two illegal immigrants – a father and a son – who claim to be Christians to renew his faith and mold them into his ideal followers. Although Zhao initiates a subtle friendship with the taciturn son, he has no choice but to confront the father after witnessing a staggering incident in his church.
