The story was built around the military occupation of an uneasy middle east country and a modern version of the Resurrection. Private Gregory is a soldier in an army of occupation who us caught up when local events when a seer who caused a clash is executed and his body vanishes.
It was shot in Melbourne.[6] Writer Callendar based it on the Gospel of St Luke and the story of Gregory.[5]
The Age said it was "another of those uninhibited attempts to tell the gospel story in terms of 20th century events and people" like BBC's Golgotha and CBCs's Open Grave adding "by way of comparison the ABC's feature more than held its own."[7]
