A parody of the Gospel, this comedic, tragic queer romance is a first-person account from Judas Iscariot himself as he details his time, role, relationship and heartbreaking end with Jesus of Nazareth.
Our narrator, Judas Iscariot, has been married to his wife for seven years, but they cannot bear a child. It's not because she's barren, but because he cannot get hard. He's tried repeatedly to get an erection but comes up flaccid each time. One night, he and his wife get into a fight over his impotence and he runs away from home, feeling like a failure of a man. After running night and day, he finds himself at the Jordan River and decides he will drown himself. His attempt fails, but in the distance he hears a voice preaching.
Moved by the voice, he ventures over and meets John the Baptist. Judas reluctantly admits he's "broken" and John tells him he knows a healer who can heal all! Judas is taken to this mysterious healer: Jesus Christ. Judas explains his problem, and Jesus tells him it's all in head, planting a hand on his shoulder. For the first time in a long time, Judas feels his member twitch! He's healed!
Before Judas can return to his wife to share the good news, Jesus insists that Judas come with him to Jerusalem to hear his sermon. Judas follows the new Messiah, meeting the likes of Mary of Magdala, Peter, Mark and others. As he witnesses Jesus perform miracles and break laws (both from the Torah and of nature) Judas inexplicably finds himself falling harder (and getting harder) for the Son of Man
.
With the night of the Last Supper, he realizes this is his last chance to tell Jesus his true feelings. And he does. And while Jesus admits he loves him too, and wants to be with him, his Dad won't allow it. It's a law he cannot break. Here, the heart of Judas hardens, and whether as an instrument of God or of his own free will, he sells out his only Beloved, leaving him to be crucified while his own heart falls to pieces. In his grief, he sets out to hang himself, but not without sharing his story first.
