Buffalo newsman Evan Baxter is elected to Congress with the slogan, Change the world. He lucks into a huge house in a new Virginia suburb. His Capitol office is also fantastic, but there s a catch: he s tapped by the powerful Congressman Long to co-sponsor a bill to allow development in national parks. In steps God, who appears to a disbelieving Evan and gently commands him to build an ark. Tools and wood arrive in Evan s yard, animal pairs follow, his beard and hair grow wildly, nomad s clothes and a staff appear. Long grows impatient, Evan starts building, his family leaves him, reporters gather, and drought grips D.C. Still, Evan believes. But will he change the world?
