In 1955, taxi driver and earthling Dr. George King claimed he was contacted by extraterrestrials with an urgent message: Earth is on the brink of nuclear and spiritual catastrophe. Thus was born The Aetherius Society, a religion with over 35 centers worldwide that look to cosmic teachings for a kinder, more peaceful universe. This documentary enters the surreal world of the North American headquarters, where prayer can be stored in a battery, Jesus was an alien, and an unusual but kind-hearted community works towards the betterment of humanity.
