In the prophesied world of the Book of Revelation, global icon and world leader Nicolae Carpathia has finally done the unimaginable - he has managed to unite the world in peace - and bring an end to the bloodshed that has ruled the world since the beginning of time.

American President, Gerald Fitzhugh (Lou Gossett, Jr) has shared that dream, and has dedicated his Presidency to making sure the world's most powerful nation didn't stand in the way of that dream.

But when a field assassination attempt opens his eyes to an underground world and a horrifying glimpse into a sinister conspiracy, Fitzhugh must come to terms with the agonising truth - World War 3 is pounding at the door - and his dedication to the dream of peace has left America powerless to defend herself.

With the help of investigative reporter Buck Williams and his underground Tribulation Force, Fitzhugh battles a ticking clock, insurmountable odds, and his own closed mind, to try to find a way to stop the death of millions of people, and perhaps the end of history itself.
