Hour One

Apocalypse now? In Part 1 of this six-part theological thriller, signs that "the end of days" is at hand begin to appear, including a shadow of a crucifix on a Mexican mountain; an infant who (miraculously, it seems) survives a shipwreck; and strange utterances in Latin from a brain-dead girl. They attract religious scholar Sister Josepha and reluctant astrophysicist Richard Massey, who is licking his wounds: His daughter was murdered by Satanists.
