A B2 Bomber, piloted by the son of one of the top Mormon leaders, accidentally crashes into the Salt Lake Temple of the Mormon Church killing all but two of the key leaders of that church. The youngest and the newest of the top leaders is not present at the time of the disaster, and is left to put the church back together.
