Seth’s life, though, is turned upside down when he is informed by his overbearing and overprotective mother that he is God’s youngest son and by default the second coming of Christ.
Initially convinced that his parents are crazy, his thoughts of their commitment to a suitable care facility are superseded when he receives an unsolicited telephone call from God himself. With Armageddon fast approaching, and due to some poor editing and proofreading of the Bible, Seth must assume the role of Christ and fight God’s corner in the ‘Final Conflict’ between good and evil. Despite his initial reluctance and attempts to shirk his new responsibilities, God is insistent, and Seth is cajoled into undertaking the role of Messiah.
