The Psalms of Israel Jones is the story of a father and son's journey towards spiritual redemption. When Reverend Thomas Johnson receives and anonymous phone call, he learns his Dylanesque rock star father is acting deranged on stage, where he's being worshipped by a cult of young people who slash their faces during performances. In his declining years, Israel Jones has begun to incite his fans to violence. They no longer want to watch the show-they was to be the show. Eager to escape troubles with his congregation as well as gain an apology from is dad for abandoning his family, Reverend Johnson leaves town and joins Israel Jones's Eternal Tour. This decision propels him to the center of a rock and roll hell, giving him one last chance to reconnect with his father, wife, congregation-and maybe even God.
