When the faithful vanish, those left behind must choose.

Pete and his mates scoffed at Ken's end-times warnings, dismissing them as religious rambling endured at many a barbie over a beer, until his friend vanished.

Now, Pete and his wife Tajana confront a horrifying new reality as they observe their small Aussie town's chilling transformation into a system of total control.

A mark on the right hand or forehead will be the only way to buy or sell. Ken's warning resonates: taking it means eternal separation from God.

But Pete's rarely prayed in his life and Tajana's even less convinced. Can a lifetime of disbelief flip overnight?

As police hunt dissenters and they prepare to find food for themselves and their dog, Polly, their marriage frays under the strain as the inescapable tribulation begins.

Pete yearns to believe. Tajana wants to live. What choices will they make as the end unfolds?
