Synopsis
At the stroke of midnight on the Twenty-Fifth of March, in the suburban Texas town of Garland, the voice of God will be heard. The directive of the Creator will preempt all other programming on Cable Channel 18, and there He will deliver a message of eternal love, space travel and the end of the world. Teacher Chen is beckoned from Taiwan to Texas, to God's Land, at the behest of the Almighty himself to await further instructions. His followers come to wait with him. They do their best to blend in to their new surroundings: they buy land, try to learn English and dress exclusively in white jumpsuits, boots and large white cowboy hats. Xiu, has her doubts about being uprooted from her comfortable life as the wife of a successful doctor and transplanted in Texas, to live semi-communal style. In the meantime her husband Hou is one of the Teachers most fervent followers. While he accepts the teachers predictions with enthusiasm, she sees only a loopy old man who speaks to God in the palm of his hand and waits to be taken into space in the garden gazebo. She also sees her family falling apart, and misses home. These pilgrims are strangers in Texas, an arid paradise of perfect sameness. The preordained time arrives. Now the real search for spiritual truth begins.
