Synopsis
The Bethlehem Project is a reboot of Noah’s Ark… just not in the way you’d expect. It's a search for meaning within an ever-changing and chaotic world—told through the lens of speculative fiction—combining love, relationships, modern slang, satire, gaming, pop-culture, conspiracy, and theology to explore three central questions: — Are we living in a simulation? — How do we play the game? — What happens after we die? Against this backdrop, a $1 billion, Biblically themed Fortnite tournament—advertising the first ever, one-of-one Jesus Skin—draws in 500 million players from around the globe. Only 10,000 will advance to the Main Event. Among those trying is Noe—a Christmas-born atheist with dreams of becoming the world’s youngest pro. But his pursuit of Victory Royale is interrupted when he receives an irrefutable message from the future: our worst fears surrounding AI have come true. And Noe has been chosen to save us, not from the floods, but from being disqualified as a human race. Because this time, the danger isn’t drowning… it’s being rendered obsolete.
