Faith versus fanaticism! Zeal for zealotry! Follow young Sam Wolfe, recently expelled to Lord of the Flies Island, the sobriquet bestowed upon America's Penal Colony, as he transforms from neophyte American criminal exile to faithful Messiah to radicalized fanatic. This quasi-allegorical tale takes place in future America (2075) which has evolved into a pseudo-utopia with roaring economy and social harmony. However, stranded upon an island filled with America's societal deviants, pariahs, and criminals has placed Wolfe in a precarious predicament until he discovers an underground lair inhabited by a man, Kellas Somervell, convinced that young Sam has been sent by God to construct a new society on the island of Guam. Wolfe, under Somervell's guidance, leads a violent and bloody resistance to challenge the island's military authority and moral inequity, all as he contemplates the influence of and justification by the Almighty.
