But to worship the man, they need a graphic of him as a god, no one has ever seen him. Therefore the high priests send a limbless get good at painter named Tibor McMasters in to the wilderness on a mission to discover Lufteufel and catch his likeness. Regrettably for Tibor, the nation’s remaining Christians usually do not need him to succeed and are willing to kill to make sure that the so-called Deus Irae continues to be concealed. This hallucinatory story through a nuclear wasteland asks what cost the artist must purchase art and attempts to determine precisely what makes a god.
