Young Billy Brown returns Upstate NY after a ten
year stint in Atlanta, Ga, where he has just interned
at the famed NSA doing operational analytics for
the psychological operations group. He gets in
with a band of Jehovah's witnesses under investigation
by the FBI for running a scam out of Buffalo. The
Witnesses are famed for mind-control and coercion and
support the lavish lifestyle of their elders and overseers
through a regime of discipline that the FBI finds...
intriguing. This movie is set in the fifties. The
main characters:
Billy Brown, all american lad
Tommy Two Step, a Jehovah's Witness "toughie" from Chicago
Sister Faramade, a witness "angel" whose sword revolveth "every which way"
in order to protect the way of the tree of life, she says, but
more, the FBI believes, to protect the schemes out of the Kingdom Hall.
Overseer Kimmet, a sinister, cloaked individual who appears and reappears
as "Yahweh wills." Said to run the underground intelligence unit
of the National Witness Circuit Operations
Brother Juan, a suspicious coffee importer from Colombia, who says he's
"just visiting Buffalo" but who is on the FBI's terror watchlist.
It's an interesting movie, any how one looks at it, for the Jehovah's
witnesses are normally seen to be above the fray. Maybe selling the
religion is a bad idea, it can conjure up bad movies?
