John Milton is up against the clock: Jonah King, the leader of a Satanic cult, has murdered Milton s daughter and kidnapped her baby. In three days, King and his followers will sacrifice the child at midnight. Milton picks up the trail in Oklahoma as well as rescuing a waitress named Piper from her brutal, two-timing fiance. There are odd things about Milton: his driver s license is out of date, he has a very strange gun, and he s being pursued by a man in a suit who carries FBI ID and calls himself the Accountant. Piper, who s lived a life on the sidelines, has to piece things together on the fly as they close in on King.
