But the occasion is suddenly disrupted by a thunderous explosion several miles away. A plane has crashed, pouring a pillar of black smoke into the air.As Sheriff Garth Morgan speeds toward the accident, he nearly hits a man running down the road, with no shoes on his feet and no memory of who he is or how he got there. The only clues to his identity are a label in his jacket and a book that's been inscribed to him, both giving the name Solomon Creed. Solomon knows only that he's here for a reason--to save a man he has never met . . . a man who was buried that very morning.Miles away, three men scan the skies for a plane carrying an important package.

But there are those who will do anything to stop him, men prepared to call on the darkest forces to prevent Solomon from succeeding.
