RABBI MOSHE “MO” ZALTZMAN runs a small synagogue in High Desert, CA with his wife HINDY and their five children. At their annual fundraising gala, the honoree is solar farm entrepreneur ALAN ROSNER. As Alan begins his speech, an unseen sniper attacks the event, firing into the crowd and causing death and devastation. After this apparent hate crime, Rabbi Mo becomes a public figure, calling for good deeds in memory of the slain. MAYOR DONOVAN KIRK vows to eradicate antisemitism from High Desert. The police investigate a young white supremacist and they find the murder weapon in his car. Case closed. But…

​

Rabbi Mo doesn’t think the kid did it. Yes, he seems to be a neo-nazi, but when Mo introduced him to holocaust survivor MR. FASSBINDER, the kid was visibly moved. The cops don’t buy Mo’s rationale for digging deeper, so he investigates the murder on his own. The synagogue’s security guard BRENDA insists that Rabbi Mo get firearms training, but he declines, explaining “I’m not a gun guy."

 

Mo uncovers multiple suspects, including Alan’s wife LIAT, an Israeli with a dark past, Alan’s hard-drinking brother JEFF, and SID BAROFSKY, an ecologist whose career Alan destroyed. Mo’s investigation brings him to Alan’s solar facility, but as his partner TIBOR is about to reveal a critical clue, a deadly sniper begins shooting at them, thrusting Mo into an epic cat-and-mouse chase in a vast field of parabolic mirrors.

​

The shocking murders force Mo and Hindy to get firearms training. The evidence points to one suspect and then another. After one of his TV appearances, however, Rabbi Mo is viciously attacked by actual neo-nazis, causing him to question everything. He digs deeper, but his hidden adversary turns Mo into a hated villain. Against all odds, Mo must unlock the web of deceit, leading to a shocking reveal and the battle royale.
