## Synopsis

Dr. Richard Massey, a noted astrophysicist from Harvard, returns home after having hunted down the Satanist that brutally murdered his daughter Lucy in a satanic ritual. The Satanist, a man named Isaiah Haden, is put into prison awaiting trial. Richard Massey is a man of science and does not believe in religion at all. He is bitter at his loss and the general poor state of his life and only wants to see Isaiah Haden face his punishment.
Meanwhile, a nun named Josepha Montafiore who is working for the Eklind Foundation, a wealthy traditionalist Catholic organization, visits the bedside of a comatose girl. The child was struck twice by lightning while crossing a golf course and lives in a vegetative state. However, the girl mumbles Bible verses in Latin and draws cryptic drawings. Josepha believes that this is an act of God and decides to pursue it.
The girl's visions lead Josepha to Richard, who joins her on her quest to document and unravel signs of the End of Days. Their journey eventually becomes a race against time to thwart Haden's followers as they try to bring about the Apocalypse, all while hot on the trail of a child who may be able to save them all.
