The Story

Elder Kevin Price and Elder Arnold Cunningham are missionaries sent to northern Uganda, to convince the population to take up Mormonism. While Elder Price is an ardent devotee and poster boy for the LDS Church, also known as the Mormon Church, his accomplice, Elder Cunningham, is rather uptight and dishonest.

On reaching the village in Uganda, the pair come to realise that the villagers are oppressed by a vicious warlord. Converting to a different religion was the least of their concerns. Will the unlikely pair be successful in the endeavour that has taken them to an entirely different continent? Will their contrasting personalities and approaches prove to be too large a gap to bridge?
