Plot
Evan Milton (Joshua Paul McCreary) is a door-to-door cutlery salesman that, in his loneliness, has become attached to the voice of his GPS. Especially as his GPS does not merely give street directions, but annoyingly offers advice on sex, hygiene, and weight loss. However, when the GPS suddenly redirects Evan to a different suburban neighborhood and brings up the subject of suicide, Evan realizes he cannot ignore the GPS anymore. He accepts that in order to change his destination in life, he must first confront his past, a secret hidden within a house located in this neighborhood. However, when Milton discovers that the homeowner (Rafael Medina) is an eighteen-year-old kid who believes he is Jesus reincarnated, Milton reconsiders how he interpreted the GPS's directions... and warnings.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.
The GPS program provides critical capabilities to military, civil and commercial users around the world. In addition, GPS is the backbone for modernizing the global air traffic system.
The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems, integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully operational in 1994.
Advances in technology and new demands on the existing system have now led to efforts to modernize the GPS system and implement the next generation of GPS III satellites and Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX). Announcements from the Vice President and the White House in 1998 initiated these changes. In 2000, U.S. Congress authorized the modernization effort, referred to as GPS III.
