The unique premise sets up a plot full of twists and turns--and opportunities to reflect on the power of God's voice. What if a team of scientists developed a program that could "play back" the very voice of God as it is "recorded" on stones found where He is known to have spoken in the past. That program is what brings Jazmin to the doorstep of her "Uncle Charlie"--with a bevy of gunman hot on her heels. They want the program and it's inherent power, which they believe will threaten their religious beliefs. Jazmin explains to Charlie that her parents have been kidnapped and that she needs his help to find them--and to protect her and the program. Charlie, tortured by the death of his own family, agrees to help his niece and thus they start a game of "cat a mouse" that takes them around the world.
