The Saudi Royal Family is overthrown by an air force officer. This officer is being controlled by an evil spirit who turns him into THE MAHDI. He gains control over much of Islamic world. His coalition eventually becomes a world super power. THE MAHDI simultaneously attacks the U.S. and Israel. As these events unfold, a beautiful Sunday School teacher meets an agnostic book store owner. The next day they are both killed in a terrorist bombing & discover that they're now spirits. As they adjust to the spirit world they join with a wise Roman scribe who's been a spirit for over 1,600 years, a Navajo medicine man who's been a spirit for 400 years, and an Ethiopian woman who died in the 1930's. This group of spirits learn of THE KNOWING and form the ARIELS CLEMENT as spirit activists. They learn now to alter the thought processes of living people. Through THE KNOWING, JESUS CHRIST, Mary Magdaline and James join the ARIELS CLEMENT and together they try to stop THE MAHDI's war against Israel and the U.S.
