In a remote corner of Finland, a secretive religious sect, Citizens of Heaven, awaits the end of the world. The sect is led by a humble, holy man, ELIAS, 40, under the authority of his strict father, SAUL, 65. When Elias’s troubled brother, JOOSUA, 34, returns from prison and performs a miracle, healing a dying man, Saul suddenly hails him as a prophet—and the sect’s new leader. Soon, curious outsiders arrive to see the miracle worker, and donations start flowing in. Citizens of Heaven begins to thrive like never before, but Elias is consumed by bitter jealousy.
Three years earlier, the brothers’ mother, MARIA, 60, vanished. Saul claims she ascended to heaven—a sign of the approaching end times. But now doubts begin to grow. Investigative journalist SOFIA, 40, infiltrates the reborn sect and suspects Maria’s disappearance is a crime. As the noose around the cult begins to tighten, Elias feels his faith starting to crumble. When the man Joosua healed is found dead, Elias must choose: expose the truth—or protect the lie that holds the entire community together.
