In a locked-down NYC, two priests open their church doors to those seeking salvation during the most isolating of times. From the commonplace to the truly metaphysical, their visitors reflect the full spectrum of personal crises of spirituality. Throughout their encounters with the city's sweetest, wildest and weirdest, the two priests learn the importance of connection, empathy and open-mindedness. Sometimes a little faith is all you need to make it through the bad times.

"I am not from this place," declares a French cowboy. An old toothless man asks, "Do you know why you're here?" These shape-shifting personalities infect young children with an evil signal in the form of a Dutch TV show. The red-eyed girls and boys believe they can now become other people and monsters, much to their delight.

Walker, a gig worker and artist, is drowning in the city's instability. Desperate for agency and financial relief to save his relationship with his ambitious girlfriend, Kylie, he accepts a lucrative but bizarre dog-walking job. At a secluded mansion, he meets Doug-a man living entirely as a dog. Initially repulsed, Walker stays, justifying the dehumanization as just another gig.
