Jim, in his mid-fifties, is a bachelor living outside Boston. He and his sister, Nina, are the two remaining siblings out of five total; they only have each other. Each week they have Saturday lunches: Jim packs sandwiches and they go for long walks. They were raised in Boston by their religious father who became an Episcopalian Preacher when they were young. Their father was full of hatred and sexually abused Nina. Neither Jim nor Nina was ever particularly devout. Now, Nina has grown obese and become infatuated with a religious extreme group called The Disciples. She devotes all her time to her new "Father", let the group damage her car, and even donated 10% of her principal--$30,000--to their efforts. Jim does not understand her obsession with Jesus and instead, fixates on his own dream of adopting an abused baby elephant. He recalls a moment from his childhood when a guard-like man who resembled his father forced him and his siblings to stay still until his "third count." He stopped counting after two. This unrealized, agonizing promise still haunts Jim and influences his negative view of Nina's religious group.
