Tom Canboro is a police detective with a Christian sister, Eileen; a brother, Calvin; a wife, Susan; and an eccentric brother-in-law, Jason. One night, Jason seemingly goes insane and tries to kill Eileen, calling her a "hater". Tom realizes this may be a conspiracy going as far as devil worship, but as he speeds in his car to get help, he suddenly loses control and crashes. Waking up in a strange hospital, he finds that years have passed and people all over the world are wearing the mark of 666 on their right hands, and all those who don't are being killed off. Franco Macalousso, the believer in world peace of whom Jason was fond of, now controls the world and is trying to unite it as it was at the Tower of Babel. Meanwhile, the "Haters," or Christians, are hiding out and airing TBN tapes on the air for people to realize that the Messiah is really the Antichrist, but their leader, Helen Hannah, is arrested.
