Storia
Abby Quinn, a pregnant woman, takes in a mysterious boarder named David Bannon. Unbeknownst to her, David is believed to be Jesus Christ returned, and his arrival triggers biblical plagues around the world, signaling the Apocalypse according to the Book of Revelation. Abby's husband Russell, a lawyer defending a teen who claims he killed his parents following divine instruction, starts noticing strange occurrences. Abby begins having nightmares and learns that she is destined to be the 'Seventh Sign', with her child's stillbirth marking the end of the world. As the omens intensify, Abby must find a way to prevent the Apocalypse and save her unborn child.
