Abstract
When an egotistical mob accountant is caught laundering money and his family is threatened, he agrees to infiltrate the Church of Scientology, posing as L. Ron Hubbard reincarnated to recover stolen national security documents. But when he finds himself enjoying his role as their savior, he's torn between protecting his family and embracing life as the Church's messiah.
