The intangible nature of faith "awakened" author Mark Ludlow to reject all religion and blame the foundations of faith for humanity's ills. On the verge of releasing a controversial new book, Mark's true potential is revealed to him.

Growing weary of the strange visions he is having Mark seeks therapeutic guidance, but deep down, his heart is still set on publishing his book, thus leaving Mark doomed to experience firsthand the dark future he could set in motion.

As Mark recounts to Matteo the day he pushed his sister out of his life, Mark begins to repent. Darian and The Foundation, however, have far grander plans for Mark: a chance of becoming a pseudo-savior wielding immense influence and power.
