Rae Daly is an activist and recent law school graduate who gets into serious legal trouble after wounding a police officer at an anti-globalization rally. To avoid prosecution, Rae agrees to help the FBI infiltrate a cult known as the Premillennial Church of God. But to do so, she must pose as a woman wanted for the murder of an abortion provider. In the end, it’s up to Rae to prevent the cult’s charismatic leader, the Prophet Emily Chandler, from carrying out planned violence that she believes will bring on the Rapture.
