Synopsis

In the Beginning tells the story of what went on behind the scenes of the first five books of the Old Testament. The show is a tribute to the ordinary, everyday people who didn’t make it into the bible. These common people manage to survive calamity after calamity inventing useful items along the way (spears, the wheel etc.). They escape enslavement in Egypt and eventually help a young man named Cain find redemption.
