When a man in power believes he's God, mankind doesn't have a prayer.===

When Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow shot up through the senate, people were all-too surprised and delighted to see someone in the prime of life wanting to heal wounds, bring people together, and bring peace, so they elected him President. His aim, however, was to bring the exact opposite.

The year is 2113, and Christianity is under siege. A massive virus has torn across the planet and killed off half of the world's population and its leaders. Goodfellow, having changed his name to "Nero" in honor of the Roman emperor, has declared himself de facto leader over the remainder of mankind, and commenced the eradication of Christianity.

In a small community outside Chicago, Illinois, 18-year-old Sage Maddox is endowed with wisdom and street smarts well beyond his years. Though his entire family has been killed off by "Guardians" - deceptively-named and ruthless killing machines dispatched by Nero - he is determined to do his part to bring much-needed justice and restore safety to Christians throughout the world.

Simultaneously, the worlds of both Colonel Thomas Drexler of The Defiance, and Nero's most High Vassal Maximillian are on a collision course in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.

The only question is: who is the cat, and who is the mouse?
