When a large group of right-wing militias enter Mark's city (implied to be Reading, PA) and takes over vital government buildings, the National Guard is called on to lay siege on the city. Mark will be forced to keep his congregation's hopes up as the city is cut off, and supplies begin to dwindle. Eventually, Mark will learn that despite all the things happening, and with hell on earth almost at hand in his own city, it is his faith in his God, and his congregation's faith in him, that will see them through the chaos of war. This story is notable for focusing on the civilian side of war, and in emphasizing on the faith of its characters.
