Michael Stewart has weathered his share of hardships: a troubled childhood, the loss of his mother, even the degradation of living on the city streets. Now he's raising his teenaged daughter on his own and doing the best he can at work and at home. But he's turning his back on his faith- that is, until the morning he volunteers for a food pantry at their local curch. While storing boxes in the basement, they step through a mysterious door and find themselves in first-century Jerusalem during the tumultuous last week of Jesus Christ's life.
