When an everday salesman accidentally discovers a “cure-all” tonic, the power of 1930’s radio causes a group of eccentric listeners in a small town to mistake his voice for “The Almighty” and to believe clues to a secret formula for happiness can be found in his weekly broadcasts. Lifelong neighbors and friends soon begin to plot ways for each to be the first to build a “Pyramid of Power” in their living room to unlock the elixir of salvation. Big city money men and their seductive honey pot try to take control from behind the scenes as each week’s broadcast grows more powerful than anyone expected.
