Plot

Jack Harriman lives an ordinary life next to a lake in Texas, sometimes getting work in construction. His friend Bob produces a cable access show about religion called "Divine Access". Bob invites Jack to appear on the show to discuss religion with host Rev. Guy Roy Davis and a man named Pete who is obsessed with the power of pyramids. Jack, who does not belong to a specific religion but thinks highly of many religious leaders, becomes very popular with viewers, to the dismay of Rev. Davis who protests that the show was his. Rev. Davis is later fired from the show and from his job in a grocery store, where he behaves erratically using a ventriloquist dummy resembling Jesus. Bob sends Jack out on tour to speak about his views and inspire people. Nigel accompanies Bob, intending to serve as a catcher for people who fall down when blessed, as people do at Christian revival meetings. As they travel through Texas, Jack meets Marian, who is following him and questioning Jack's sincerity as well as his concern for the consequences of following his advice. They pick up Amber, a prostitute who seems to have no place to go, and she eventually moves in with Jack. Jack continues to deal with obsessed followers, including some who show up at his home. Jack's mother Catherine also comes to visit. There is one final meeting of Jack's followers before a tragic event.
