Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, conquers Jerusalem in 605 BC.  But this event only triggers God’s conquering of Babylon as His faithful servants are taken captive, only to thrive in the city that is the epitome of rebellion against God.  Two brothers, Asa and Joshua, are set at odds by the conflagration of events congealing around the capture of Judah’s capital.  Who really is Joshua?  The thoughts and words of the Biblical prophets Jeremiah and Daniel are central to the understanding of events.  A crippled priest provides commentary on the law of Moses.  A blacksmith whose heart is bigger than his biceps helps the Judean youths prepare for their journey into the darkest of cities.  Nebuchadnezzar expertly expands his dominion and is wise enough to listen to two Judean captives.

The dark heart of Babylon is exposed as the demons, headed by Borebaal, plan an execute the rise of Babylon and the subjugation of Jerusalem through their unwitting human pawns.
