Even the Heaven is under siege by Corona pandemics. So, God has imposed strict measures as always. Hence Jesus escapes from Heaven to seek refuge on earth where he wants to launch a new career and clear his name. He wants to be yoga teacher, an opera singer and so forth. But the hiccup is that this time around, Jesus is not no longer blue eyed with golden hair color according to white people. The son of two fathers (Joseph and God) has to prove to the world he is progressive and modern man to re-intergrate. Besides that there is a newly found disease on earth called Black Gravity which only attacks skins of people with a different heritage.
