Summary

Orson Kincaid is a battle-hardened sniper for US Army Special Operations Command. During a demanding overseas assignment, his team gets compromised and overwhelmed. Wounded and on his own, Kincaid flees to a nearby village where two Mormon missionaries agree to hide him in their apartment while the enemy desperately searches for him. While hiding out, he learns more about the missionaries' faith, and his religious prejudices soon soften his heart toward Christianity in general and specifically toward the Mormon religion. Seeking a lifestyle change, Kincaid leaves the military, joins the LDS church, and gets hired by Church Security in Salt Lake City, hoping for a new and quiet career. Before long, a

domestic terrorist group identifies the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a soft or easy target and develops plans to attack a temple of the LDS church and kill several highly placed church leaders.
