Iosef is a poor shepherd from Georgia at the turn of the 19th century. Lonely and depressed, with only diseased sheep to his name, Iosef decides to end his life - but before he can pull the trigger, an otherworldly traveller appears before him. In a panic, he shoots and kills him. Searching through the traveller's possessions, Iosef accidentally puts on a gauntlet that clamps to his arm, binding to him. In a panic, he accidentally activates the gauntlet, sending him to parallel worlds.
In exploring many worlds, he tries to find somewhere that he can be happy and find his true calling - but the results aren't what anyone would expect...
