Overview
In a near future ravaged by killer hurricanes, rampant overdevelopment and increasingly underdressed waitresses, ex-newsman Jon Templeton has had the worst Thursday of his life. He's forced to fight off an amorous coworker at the PR job he hates, only to have his wife discover evidence to the contrary. Now he's dead, interrupted on the way to the afterlife by an elderly Rastafarian surfer who claims to be the Supreme Being. Still reeling from having lost any chance at redemption in his human life, Jon is offered a mission: Discover for the surprisingly clueless entity the identity of Lucas Scheafer, duputy to the Rev. Lawrence Whitaker and his sultry wife, Veronica, leaders of the sexually free-wheeling Church of the New Revelation, headquartered in America's new Sin City, Myrtle Beach, S.C. Jon's quest is paralleled by that of Mako Nikura, a reluctant heir to a weapons and aerospace fortune, who hopes to find the secret to his father's death and its connection to the domestic terrorist organization SHAG. Little to Jon and Mako know, but their paths lead to the same odd - and potentially cataclysmic - destination.
