Synopsis

A social satire set in modern day Florida. A young girl is discovered pregnant in a convent orphanage and the Mother Superior claims it to be a miracle. The social worker claims it's a crime and a struggle for custody ensues over an argument that the girl is entitled to an abortion. The potential virgin birth becomes a Culture War flashpoint and draws in an influential bishop, a billionaire and the ambitious Florida governor - as well as a media mogul looking for the next presidential hopeful to manipulate. A prominent evangelical preacher muscles in on the act insisting that the unborn baby is the Second Coming of Jesus. Battle lines are drawn as the case gets all the way to the supreme court who has to rule on this unholy mess.
