Middle East to America. He shows up in a small town in Texas during a tornado and saves the local preachers daughter.
The entire town is leveled but the church comes out undamaged. The preacher believes he is the Messiah and
when the news spreads people from everywhere come to the small town. The preacher and the Messiah head for DC with

Great binge watch for the week. Finished it very good.
