During the Serb-Croatian war a young soldier and devout Catholic (JAKOB BOKULICH) unwittingly drinks tea made from the hallucinogenic datura flower and experiences what he believes to be a visitation from the Virgin Mary. In this religious vision, he receives a dangerous mission which he takes to heart and travels to post-9/11 America — Oakland, California — to fulfill. While preparing for his apotheosis, two Persian sisters (ANASTASIA VEGA and ATOSA BABAOFF) who live next door surreptitiously involve themselves with him towards potentially disastrous results.
