Eli is actually a person in his twenties using a calling on his life from a new age, but he's been running from this calling - a modern day Jonah. Eli makes the decision to get out of town, after being chased by his dad, arguing with his girlfriend in front of their daughter, and then the visit to the neighborhood bar. On a west mountain highway Eli overlooks careens and a twist over an embankment, landing deep into the woods. It is an area of puzzle without way out, however it really is there where God works on his heart. Satan isn't far behind of course, trying to convince Eli to take an alternative path. In the end Eli is faced with a choice which will have repercussions on generations because his destiny is to function as the Billy Graham of his period.
