Thomas, a graduate student living on the campus of a local university, freshly out of a defining relationship broken off by Cynthia, his former partner, posts an advert for a spare room, his accommodation made vacant, costly and, more so, unbearably empty by Cynthia s departure. The singular respondent to Thomas's advert appears at the door and introduces himself as God, renting out the room and moving in. Over the coming months, Thomas and God develop a close dynamic, regularly put to test through periods of harmony, discord and encounters with people outside of their household. With God maintaining his divine provenance and purpose and Thomas always testing the claims, rebelling against heavenly authority and persistently querying his peculiar lodger for unreachable truths beyond the knowledge of humankind, an understanding slowly forms between the pair. Together, Thomas and God navigate life, all the while making the most of their own, developing association.
