Cora Reims once embraced a vision of pure light—an angelic messenger who left behind a terrible miracle: her son, Jordy. Despite his angelic countenance, it soon becomes apparent that Jordy is a plague upon the Earth, spreading death and cruelty wherever he goes. After years of torment and generational shame for her transgression, Cora receives a divine revelation on the eve of Jordy’s eighteenth birthday: God has finally heard her pleas and Heaven demands the destruction of her devastatingly powerful child.
