Tyndale Corbett lands in Miami with stolen credit cards and a borrowed identity. He checks into luxury hotels and savors his new life as someone successful. His previous failures teach him a lesson about thinking too small. This time he aims higher than mere financial fraud. Tyndale announces himself as God to the people of Miami. He takes control of the Church of the Heavily Armed Christ and begins building his divine empire. His congregation keeps him busy with pet problems while he assembles a private army and hires call girls. The church operations expand into cocaine trafficking and death threats. Rival groups try to steal his church, but Tyndale fights them off. He handles each crisis with what he considers godly authority. Through it all, he works toward his ultimate proof of divinity. His master plan requires him to die and return to life.
