The Light Will Subdue is an unpublished metaphysical sci-fi web series from independent writer Justin Fair / @soulstrong, written with GPT AI assistance. All rights reserved.
The Pitch: Set largely in present-day Tel Aviv, The Light Will Subdue follows Ori Farah, a man in his early thirties who comes to Israel through aliyah — a Jewish return to ancestral homeland — while carrying unresolved grief. There, he stumbles into a world of wonder, danger, and hidden, power. Burdened with a divine gift, Ori begins to understand himself as a modern-day prophet, building a chosen family that blurs the line between work, love, and spiritual calling.
As his rare supernatural abilities awaken, he brings a queer, deeply personal, and spiritually grounded perspective to a larger-than-life conflict that remains viscerally human. Under the mentorship of Dr. Talia Ben-Yosef at the Mabat Institute, Ori and their team confront hidden institutions determined to exploit his power—and the powers of others—for war, escapism, profit, and control.
