When Calvin Grant receives a video from the Prophet, he decides it is time to act. He has already received three letters, each one stating that Grant, as President of the United States, needs to tell the American people to turn from their wicked ways and seek God. The Prophet warns that eminent destruction will come in 14 days if they do not. Grant gathers a team made up of FBI Agent Megan Taylor, CIA Agent Jonathan Keene and old friend Bozwell Hamilton. They are tasked with the job of finding the Prophet.
Meanwhile, over a hundred sheriff's deputies are missing along the Texas border. After using the GPS locators in their cars to find them, they discover all have been killed, execution style. Taylor, Keene and Hamilton trace the Prophet to a small town in Texas and decide that is where they need to start their search. But when the stock market suddenly crashes, President Grant decides to make the speech to the nation about the Prophet before the team leaves for Texas. He believes the Prophet will attend the speech. In the midst of his speech, someone takes a shot at the President, seriously wounding him in the head. This assassination attempt changes the game.
Only Keene goes to Texas, while Taylor takes on the job of finding the shooter. Her investigation leads to the Director of the Department of Homeland Security, Marianne Levy, and documents indicating Levy has been dealing with the Chinese to allow access into the US along the Canadian border, bypassing customs. Further digging into Levy's computer records reveals the name of a deadly assassin, Alexandria Smith. Taylor and Hamilton are off in search for these two women.
