Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Richard Massey returns home from Chile after having hunted down Isaiah Haden, a Satanist cult leader that murdered Massey's daughter Lucy after his public comments disparaging both God and Satan. Massey remains a stolid man of science and only wants to see Haden punished by his crime, but the whole ordeal will prove harder than expected due to Haden's influence from prison and the reach of his cult.
Meanwhile, Catholic nun Josepha Montafiore, member of a wealthy traditionalist organization that operates without support from the Vatican, visits the bedise of a girl rendered comatose by being struck twice by lightning. Montafiore feels something really big is coming after the girl starts mumbling Bible verses in Latin and drawing cryptic drawings.
The girl's visions lead Josepha to Richard, who form an improbable duo to document and unravel signs of the End of the Days, which Haden's followers are trying to bring about, all while hot on the trail of a child who may be able to save them all.
