It's a frigid, icy, winter, Good Friday morning in Toronto. The forces of evil - Satan's army - are preparing for one more attempt at grabbing and destroying the one remaining thorn, from the crown of thorns that Christ bore. The one thorn that stands in the way of evil taking over the world.When the 'end-of-world', repentance preaching mad man is suspiciously struck by a speeding truck and dies in Daniel's arms, he passes on the mantle of the 'Thornbearer' to Daniel. Suddenly, a beautiful, quiet, Good Friday morning is transformed into a war zone as a massive car pileup is followed by riots, shootings, cops and zombie like mobs that seem totally possessed by some kind of evil. The forces of evil sensing another defeat let loose a spate of shootings, burning and riots. The chaos reaches a peak when an assassin becomes a reality with a teen, a cop and a gang gunned down - bringing in a highly trained swat team.Daniel is sure that the hooded man, a sinister presence is behind the rapidly escalating chaos. In the midst of it all, he discovers his own allies that will fight by his side. Between Yokatherine, whose long past and a brush with the same evil is now coming full circle, and Ezekiel, a teen battling his own moral issues, the three realize that their destinies are closely tied with a final battle of the day.Before Daniel can deal with any of that, he must first fight the deadly charm of Amanda, a stunningly beautiful, dark haired young woman, a down-in-the-dumps photographer who gets hired for a second time by the hooded man to shoot the events to unfold that Good Friday. Daniel knows that he must put an end to the instant attraction that magnetically brings the two together in the midst of the chaos. Neither Daniel nor Amanda, know the powers that lie hidden within them, the massive roles they have been chosen for and how closely their destinies are tied together, yet, not in the way they could imagine. One must lead with humility and the other with a power, fiercely evil. Will they reconcile their divergent journeys, yet find their way forward or sacrifice their made for each other attraction to fulfill the roles they have been chosen for? For Daniel, it is the ultimate moral dilemma in staying a loyal husband and being true to the mission God has chosen for him.Between murdered cops, pregnant teens, human sacrifices to the evil one and a day that must face a final reckoning so deadly, that Daniel slowly discovers a world that has lived on the edge and which he must now protect from Satan's forces. From the slopes of Calvary, where the Son of Man conquered Sin and Death, to this day 2000 years later, the battle has been ever raging.A battle between the Kingdom of God and the forces of evil, and a victory so critical to all that is good in this world.
