In the ninth century BCE, the Phoenician princess Jezebel ordered the execution of all prophets who refused to worship the pagan deity Baal. Elijah flees Israel for the city of Zarephath, where he unexpectedly finds love. But soon all hopes and dreams vanish, and Elijah is once again caught up in a whirlwind of events that threaten his life. 'The Fifth Mountain' is the moving story of God's chosen one, who must carry his faith through the most terrible trials.
