   Speaking in alternate chapters, the main characters Marina and Jed tell about their difficult family situations and describe how Marina's mother and Jed's father become involved with the Believers, an ultra-conservative religious sect.  Marina prays for the faith her mother has, in futile hope of keeping her family together, while Jed reacts with disdain.  The Believers' leader claims to have been revealed the exact day of the end of the world, and is going to a mountaintop to wait with 144 faithful who will be spared.  Marina's mother and Jed's father get ready to be included, along with those familly members whom they can convince to accompany them.  They leave messages of farewell to those who stay behind.
