The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem – the most sacred place in Christendom – is shared by six different Christian sects: Greek Orthodox, Catholics, Armenians, Copts, Syrians and the Ethiopians - all of whom are constantly trying to maintain the ancient, fragile status quo.

The guardians of the key to the Church are two Moslem families, both of which claim to be the key custodian. And one Israeli Police officer, Johnny, who's responsible for keeping the peace in the Church.
