For years, Sam has taken care of his elderly father Doug, who never leaves the confines of his littered home and ancient television set. Even though the young man insists on his father leaving the cramped house for a better life at the senior living center. The house is in foreclosure and bills are piled sky high. One late evening, the two men view a show based on unsolved mysteries. Doug laughs at a particular segment based on an expensive Rembrandt painting that was stolen in the early 1990’s called Storms on the Sea of Galilee. A picture depicting Jesus on a small boat calming the storms of Galilee surrounded by his disciples. Deep within Doug’s cluttered and roach infested living quarters lays a secret that is worth millions.
