A true story.

In the closing days of the 17th century,
Europe's struggling Reformation is challenged by a growing underground movement of mysticism and experiential religion.

Johannes Kelpius, one of the most brilliant students at Germany's renowned University of Altdorf, finds himself thrust into a position of leadership in this dangerous movement.

When a mysterious benefactor offers land as a sanctuary adjacent to Quaker William Penn's new visionary city of Philadelphia, Kelpius leads forty men and women on a dangerous journey to the New World.

There they discover, not a religious utopia, but a place where only the power of Kelpius' personality can keep alive the ideals of tolerance and faith.
