About The Last Church -- Synopsis

The Last Church Synopsis

The Last Church (futuristic dark fantasy) is about Peter, an average guy working a failing business. Nothing works for him, the bank is about to foreclose and he is about to lose everything. Until he found a special book. Everything he wants is available by the spilling of blood -- other people's blood. For 20 years, everything he wishes comes to pass. Now it is his turn to give his life. The book must be passed on. But unlike the other victims of the Devil's book who followed the rules, Peter decides to shatter every rule established and refuses to give up his possession of it.

Fast forward to the year 2368. The Arabian/German front is building up to the forth world war, the world president is trying to stop it - but not very hard. Christianity is on the brink of ending. In amongst all this is Rachael, an archeology student who, as a child, had a crush on Peter Clement, the most successful salesman the world has ever known.

On a dig for her school, Rachael and her friends enter a time slip and arrive in Opera Sands, the day after Peter has killed himself. They find his house and venture inside. Demons assault them; Rachael finds the Peter's special dagger and takes it. Re-entering the time slip they arrive 3 weeks later in their time zone. The war has started and at the gates to the domed city, the student team is attacked, they escape and in doing so, Rachael cuts herself on the dagger, a deep cut.

In Hell (which is the hilt of the dagger) a torrent of blood soaks Peter, he hears his demon friend's voice and sees the white tunnel for his re-entry.

He enters the real world at Rachael's house in time to save her from behind assaulted by her violent ex-boyfriend. Her crush returns as full blown love. Peter is weak; he needs blood to enter the dagger that will grant him strength. Rachael agrees to help him. On their way out of the house, Peter collapses from lack of energy. Rachael's close friend and fellow archaeology student arrives at her house. Peter attacks him, but it is Rachael who plunges the dagger into her friend, cementing his trust in her.

Peter's main goal is to find his computer and recite the book he has written. It must be done in a church built the old fashioned way. And once inside the church he brings forth Satan and all hells glory.

Only one girl has the knowledge to stop him. It is hidden deep inside her; even she doesn't know until she does it. But the Meph-Man knows and he’s doing everything in his power to stop her.
