After the birth of Tim Collins's daughter, Ella, he suddenly realizes something is missing from his life. His father walked out on him and his mother as a small boy. Along the way, Tim encounters a stranger with a strange name, Yeshua, who mysteriously appears when Tim needs him most and then vanishes, and Tim's dreams. His search leads him to the city streets, where he meets a group of homeless people, hoping they may have seen his father. Among them, Susan, a young woman, shares a profoundly heartbreaking story that deeply touches him most.

Over time, Tim's unsuccessful search for his father makes him bitter towards everyone. This feeling intensifies when his loving wife, Pam, becomes a Christian and starts attending church. Amid all the turmoil, Tim has extraordinary dreams that he believes are lessons from God that he needs to learn. Along the way, Tim thinks he understands who Yeshua is and what God is trying to teach him.

The lessons that Tim learns from God significantly transform him, his family, and his community. His message resonates across his state, and nation, and reaches many parts of the world, changing the lives of millions.
