The Madness of the Faithful

Faith is ripped from humanity in an instant leaving those most badly affected picking up the pieces and facing the greatest challenge of their existence: to accept the truth.

In an event that causes all the people of the world to lose consciousness for but a moment, faith is gone – everyone is an atheist, and anyone who had strong faith before is left bereft. The event’s cause is unknown, but some believe it’s the doing of a powerful External Force, and are willing to commit acts of violence in its name against those who still bear symbols of religion…

Paul, a middle-aged widower and recovering alcoholic, leans heavily on his religious belief to deal with the grief after the loss of his wife. But when he starts to see her again after the event, she takes him to a place of significance – a Welsh coastal village where they spent a perfect day on their honeymoon decades earlier.

Becoming a part of the village community, Paul connects with others, and they help each other come to terms with this forever-changed world. Can Paul protect his new family from the External Force supporters before it’s too late?
