Pastor Moses prepares for the next day's sermon by discussing with his wife Jane and brothers Lazarus and Trick how they're going to do the biggest performance of robbing the congregation then disappearing at night. Things don't go as planned as during the sermon he is interrupted by a Rastafari woman accusing him of not caring for the poor and robbing people. He defends himself by saying she reminds him of her mother which makes Lazarus attack him. Lazarus becomes luminous and asks his brother to repent to which he refuses. Angel Gabriel also descends and makes the same request but he still refuses. The devil arrives claiming it his church and upset to see the angel. Trick arrives at the church asking what has happened. They both learn that their brother was tricked by the devil to believe their parents were killed and did not die in a car accident. He realizes that he's been tricked but it's too late for him so he shouts at his brothers to run out the church. The church burns then explodes leaving nothing but a hole. Pastor Moses is taken to hell and walks towards the edge of hell close to the heaven hoping he will see his parents. He does see them waving at him and he's finally at peace.
