The government can not prove the connection between Sigma's religion and the disaster's happening. They send two of there best agents, Detective Murphy and Detective Thomas, to go undercover, to find evidence Sigma is behind something more than a religion up bringing. Murphy and Thomas rank up in the new religion to the point where they reside at Sigma's house, which is the representative house of the religion, where Sigma and his most devoted followers live. While there, They meet Pearl Dear, a poor girl that warns the detectives and grows attach to them, while filling them in to all of Sigma's secret doings and Carol Time, a woman that Murphy convinces to come to her senses and abandon the new religion. As the detectives get closer to Sigma, Thomas questions his faith and gets sucked into the religion, and informs Sigma of there true intentions. Murphy and Carol attempts to escape with their lives but is stopped by Thomas, who must decide whether to be faithful to his partner or his new religion. In confusion Thomas kills himself, and Pearl uses herself as a human bomb to blow up Sigma's house, killing Sigma, and in the process helping Murphy and Carol to freedom. In the end, the religion dies down, with Sigma being called a terrorist. Murphy is left questioning his own faith and whether Sigma was a cult terrorist or a Spiritual Messenger.

What the press would say:

Liam Neeson's directorial debut is amazing, ground breaking and every other words that would describe the best movie of the decade. Jim Carrey's performance is far superior than not only his other acting attempts, but far superior to almost every other performance in the last three decades! He uses his comedic and dramatic techniques to create a performance so dramatic and eerie that it won't be duplicated for at least another decade. Jim's Sigma's famous line in the film "What has the devil done to you?" that is said every time he converts someone to his religion, is a line, just like Cuba Gooding Jr's "show me the money!" in jerry maguire, is a line alone that will earn him his long overdue Academy Award. Liam Neeson's performance is as powerful as he was in Schiendler's List, but his direction is the real story. He enters the directing chair as if it wasn't his first time. Samuel L Jackson's performance is his best yet since Pulp Fiction. And although Jessica Alba's breakthrough performance rivals that of Nicole Kidman and Hilary Swank, the real breakthrough came from young actress Jurnee Smollett. The young actress gives a performance so powerful I had to get some Kleenex to cry. I haven't seen such powerful acting since Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. You really start to feel for her character and the sadness she has gone through. Jurnee's performance will surely win her almost every acting award known to man, and if it doesn't, just like in the film, the nation will go blood crazy at the disappointment. This film is the decade's MUST SEE FILM, and it will be a crime for it not to be recognized.
