Plot Summary
Dr. Williams (Martin Freeman) is a psychiatrist who is asked by the guv of a maximum-security jail to examine a prisoner called Voorman (Tom Hollander). Voorman has handled to encourage his fellow prisoners that he is a god, and his effective charisma has resulted in a string of disturbances within the prison. The governor is fretted about Voorman's growing influence and hopes that Dr. Williams can detect him with some form of mental disorder, which would then allow them to deal with him better.

Throughout the preliminary sessions, Dr. Williams tries to approach Voorman as he would any other client, however he quickly understands that Voorman differs from any private he has actually ever come across. Mainly, Voorman claims to have developed the world 9 days previously, and thus, all of Dr. Williams's memories prior to that are just impressions produced by Voorman.

Voorman's Challenge
As a presentation of his power, Voorman challenges Dr. Williams to name any nation that he is particular exists, and Voorman will stop its existence right then and there. Dr. Williams, fearing the possible effects but fascinated by the challenge, concurs and chooses Belgium. Upon returning house, Dr. Williams discovers that Belgium has actually inexplicably disappeared from all maps, and nobody, including his better half, seems to bear in mind it ever existing.

The Test of Faith
Now persuaded of Voorman's divine powers, Dr. Williams concerns him about his true nature. Voorman discusses that he was once just a guy who found the capability to change reality. Understanding that he might never understand the true nature of humanity after gaining such powers, he chose to create a new god with a much better understanding of the human experience.

Voorman provides Dr. Williams a chance to become this brand-new god by showing his dedication and self-control. When a prisoner assaults the doctor, Voorman informs him to eliminate the foe to prove his merit. Dr. Williams refuses, insisting that there need to be a much better, more compassionate method of dealing with the dispute.

The Resolution
Impressed by Dr. Williams's response, Voorman exposes that he was checking the doctor the whole time, and he was never ever truly a god after all.

The movie ends with Dr. Williams returning home, changed by the experience and now questioning his own perceptions of reality.
