Max is a young urban Kenyan. He has a dream job, a best friend, and he hopes to marry the daughter of his company’s owner. His boss sends him to a little Muslim village on the coast to make some manufacturing deals for local tourist-type wares.
On the coast, three thieves beat up Max to try to steal his computer. A Muslim fisherman rescues him and takes care of him until he recovers. When Max leaves, he gives the fisherman a Bible. Immediately, the Muslim elders confront the man, Yusef, about helping a Christian.
Max returns home but is convicted that these villagers on the coast need Jesus Christ. He wants to be a missionary. His best friend disowns him, his boss fires him, and his girlfriend chooses her father over him.
