This story deals with Jesus as a husband, father, and leader of a carpentry/construction crew, who is contemplating a new career as a rabbi, teacher and minister. Unacquainted with the politics of religion, he seeks the advice of family and friends about his new endeavor.

Jesus soon finds himself caught between the Romans and the Sanhedrin Court, heading straight into a political storm. His mother and his wife form a dynamic pair who will strive to see his dream come to fruition despite how fraught with danger it seems to be. Meet James, Jesus' older brother and crew foreman, and Simon, Jesus' best friend. Meet his fisherman buddies, and his new friend from Egypt. See how ideal virtues manifest in a confusing and violent world. See what it takes to be the kind of man others choose to follow. See why he had to be that man.
