Spencer is beside herself. Her normal ten-year old son Alex is receiving subliminal extraterrestrial messages describing Earth's demise in ten years. He describes two other children receiving the same messages. Spencer globe-trots looking for the other children her son calls 'Conduits'; she must validate her son's messages. The US President believes the children are being manipulated by bad actors in a nefarious scheme to destabilize democracies; he wants them silenced. Jack, an ex-SEAL leads the Conduits on a cat-and-mouse chase, as they stay one step ahead of the US agents.
This first book of the trilogy ends with a small group of Catholic Cardinals believing Satan has arisen and manifested the Antichrist through the conduits.
