This play is based on II Peter chapter one. Gabe is a Christian who is struggling in his walk with the Lord, and he stumbles and falls, rolling down a hill and passes through a portal into another world. There he meets Sneg, a human-like creature with big ears, who believes that Gabe was sent there to help him get to The Eternal Kingdom. Deciding that this would be his only way back home, he agrees. He helps Sneg discover faith and they start out on their journey. As the passage states, "... applying all diligence, in your faith supply virtue..." etc; they go from one to the next, learning these qualities and applying them to their lives. Faithful, a fairy-like creature guides them along the way as they meet a cunning seductress, a wise old man, an old seller woman, Sneg's cousin, an evil troll and a woman with a baby. Once they have applied love, the final quality, Gabe is able to cross back through the portal to his world and though he forgets what he saw, he remembers what he learned.
