Jesse is forced to leave school to help his father and chooses to learn about becoming a minister in his church. When his grandmother dies, the Army offers Heinrich the security he needs. In this atmosphere he excels. Jesse becomes disillusioned by the acts of the Elders of his church, leaves home and becomes a vagrant. He finds his "calling" and becomes the leader of a religious group known as the Believers. Heinrich suffers a career ending injury in a plane crash and becomes interested in politics. Through guile, manipulation and bullying he becomes the leader of the country and declares himself head of the Church. His one desire is to have Jesse recognize him as such.
