The synopsis: a secret society known as The Church has been preventing the second coming of Christ for the past millennium. Looking for redemption, and recruited by The Church, a team of gunmen and assassins stop at nothing to track and kill the carrier. Convinced that they are exterminating the antichrist, they use any means necessary to fight a secret battle to save the world and their own souls. Nothing could have prepared Maggie Lee to carry the God Child, but her life has never been fair. Being thrown out of her home at the age of 16 for being gay has endowed her with the inner strength needed to survive. With assassins on her trail and nowhere to hide, will she fight to survive to give birth to the son of God, or the anti-christ?^[12]
