The series is a modern-day reimagining of the Book of Acts that follows the early followers of Jesus in an alternate, modern era. A resurrection sparks a new movement that turns the world upside down, spreading hope amid chaos. As the followers risk everything to preach the good news, the Temple races to silence them before the oppressive Imperium regime retaliates. But public miracles, unburied secrets, and fractured loyalties force both sides to confront the true cost of their choices.
On Pentecost, a mysterious wind calls out to the city. Despite his mother's fears, Stephen follows the call. Meanwhile, Saul, a Temple prodigy, returns home to find the Ministers shaken by the resurgence of Jesus' followers.
With Peter and John imprisoned, the Followers face mounting doubts and opposition. Stephen is burdened by guilt, Mary confronts a painful past, and Saul wrestles with the implications of public miracles in Jesus' name.
The Imperium's inspection forces the Apostles to lay low, while Caiaphas hides the Jesus movement from Pilate. Mary rescues a young woman, Stephen wrestles with faith, and Saul grows more determined to end the movement.
Barnabas' warehouse gift offers hope-until Ananias and Saphira's deception devastates Peter and the Followers. Stephen mentors young Malachi, while Mara's discovery of a secret meeting forces Saul into an unthinkable choice.
Saul pulls strings in the shadows, orchestrating the Apostles' arrest. Stephen rises to unite a fractured community, while Mary confronts the Temple Guard Captain over a rescued girl's future. Saul's plan may succeed, but at what cost?
Stephen’s charismatic leadership splits Salem’s people, but his devoted mother, Esther, wrestles with fear for his safety. Elsewhere, a broken Saul receives a shocking offer from the Temple, one that could restore his position in the Temple or become his undoing
A zealous mob descends on the Temple demanding action against the Followers for "defiling" their faith. As threats turn to violence, the Apostles face their gravest test yet - protecting their own while upholding peace.
After learning the truth of the empty tomb, Pilate issues an ultimatum: destroy the Messiah’s movement or face the Imperium’s wrath. The Temple seizes its chance to purge Salem, igniting a conflict no one can control.
