So why not make God an irreverent 50-something grouch, who spend his time making up rules to torment humans from his apartment in Belgium, living with his submissive wife and ten-year-old daughter Ea (his son JC escaped a while back and "got himself killed")? That's the premise of this irreverent European comedy. Ea has finally had enough of her dad's abuse and decides to escape as well, but not before messaging everyone with their exact time of death and then locking up God's computer so he can't fix the mess.
In the outside world, Ea enlists help to track down her six apostles (12 didn't work very well, and besides six more bring's the total to 18, the number you need for a baseball team) and record the Brand New Testament, all while God follows her into the real world and sees the results of his creation.
