Plot

The story begins in the late 1980s. The first phase of the novel focuses on the relationship between four young people who, for one reason or another, chose New York as a university destination. Alan Gudman (American), Susana Aisen (Brazilian), Adriano Montana (Italian) and Débora Koheg (Israeli) become inseparable, exploring fascinating Manhattan together. Alan and Susana develop a delicate relationship that becomes a beautiful love story; Adriano and Debora are more intense and passionate and, surrounded by a mysterious and somber force, marry in a troubled way and live in an unhappy relationship. Other everyday and parallel characters appear in this first phase and will be introduced during the course of the novel.

The second phase begins in 2001, with the return of the failing couple, Adriano and Débora, and their son Ricardo to New York, where they resume contact with their old friends Alan and Susana, as well as and their children, Benjamin and Isabella. Débora, however, is envious of Susana, since her relationship with Adriano is at this point merely a facade, while Susana and Alana have a happy marriage. Several apocalyptic prophecies promise to take place in various cities around the world: in Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Jerusalem, and New York, where the fateful September 11 is part of the narrative.

The third phase brings the story to the present day and shows how the characters bacema impacted by the biblical prophecies. There will be moments of faith, hope, pain, sadness and anguish, where the audience will see the best and the worst of the human beings. Ricardo becomes the antagonist of the story, the Antichrist who will fight to dominate the world; he will empower himself with scientific discoveries of his childhood friend Benjamin, who has become a brilliant scientist and has married a successful television reporter Zoe Santero, his childhood love, and will use it to commit atrocities against people who oppose his tyrannical rule. People of the past who have committed terrible acts may surprise the public by repenting and accepting Christ before it becomes too late, while "lukewarm" Christians may not resist Ricardo's rule and begin to worship the devil in mistaken belief that doing so will spare them from death, exchanging their souls for temporary comfort.
