Reverend Alex Hergensheimer just wants to enjoy his tropical getaway. But after a strange fire-walking incident, his world begins to shift. One moment he's aboard his cruise ship, the next he's in an entirely different universe, seemingly at the whims of some higher power. As he's tossed between realities, it becomes clear that he's a pawn in an ancient feud between God and the Devil. Can Alex outwit the forces toying with his life, or is he doomed to witness Armageddon firsthand?
