A pious old man, who is a proponent of suicide attackers, comes to Kabul to visit his only son, who, after the holy war had remained in the Soviet Union.

Продолжатель традиций мормонов и дела своего отца, в 2002 году Джеффс Уоррен возглавил церковь, а затем, четыре годы спустя, и список наиболее разыскиваемых лиц ФБР. Почти два года за ним охотились власти, обвинившие Уоррена в насилии над несовершеннолетними, в том числе и в инцесте. 25 сентября 2007 года состоялся арест пророка – его приговорили к 10 годам тюрьмы, но затем приговор ужесточили: Уоррен получил пожизненное заключение, 20 лет сверху и штраф в 10 000 долларов.
