For years Peter Braxton has been hulled up in his church, keeping his congregation safe, while the outside world fell to the ground. His wife has died and that his son, Daniel, has been kidnapped by the Anti-Christ himself. After The Dark discovers where he has been hiding, Peter finds that it's time to make good on the promise he made to his wife before she died: to find their son.

Out of the protection of the church for the first time, Peter, Mike, Adrian, Jennifer, Blake and Jeremy find themselves being hunted by the army of The Dark. It seems that, no matter where they go, The Dark is finding them. Seeking a refuge, Peter, Mike, Adrian and Jennifer find themselves in the clutches of a group of Atheists, and their leader, Lucian.

Being held captive by Lucian and her followers, Peter, Adrian, Jennifer and Mike have to, once again, fight to survive and escape before The Dark comes and takes them away. Enlisting the help of one of one of Lucian's followers, the four escape with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Mike has to dig deep into his dark past to find help, now that the group is on their own.

Things go from bad to worse, as Mike, Peter and Adrian try to free Jennifer from the clutches of the evil Carlos before she gets auctioned off to the highest bidder. It may take the ultimate sacrifice. Meanwhile, Blake finds himself in a place that he never expected to be, and is reminded that he is always under the watchful eye of The Dark.

Peter finally gets what he wants, coming face to face with The Dark. But can he convince Daniel to come with him? The Dark has a tight control over Daniel and has shown him things that could make Daniel's dreams come true. The whole team will come face to face with their pasts, and have to make choices of their own. Peter accepts the fact that some wars can't be won, only survived.
