Skip it. While the premise of a hustler navigating faith and redemption in biblical times has potential, the execution feels muddled—mixing comedy, drama, and adventure without clear direction. Without critical validation and a somewhat derivative 'con artist finds religion' setup, there are better ways to spend your night.

Plot

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.
