Robinson, who has amassed a devoted following thanks to his claims of possessing supernatural powers, holds sway over his flock with a mix of fear, coercion, and seduction.
MacLeod, initially skeptical of Robinson's claims, becomes intrigued when he witnesses the cult leader perform what appears to be a miracle in front of a crowd of followers. But as he delves deeper into Robinson's world, MacLeod starts to uncover a darker truth behind the cult's seemingly benevolent façade.
As MacLeod works to unravel the mystery, he must also confront his own doubts and fears about the existence of evil in the world. Along the way, he forms an unexpected alliance with Robinson's second-in-command, a woman named Liz.
