Adam has a good life in Buffalo: great parents, a cute girlfriend, adequate grades. He's not the best at anything, but he's not the worst either. He secretly lusts after Vanessa, the hottest girl in school, and when his dead grandfather's will stipulates that he go on a mission to France, Adam figures he might just have a chance to impress Vanessa and change his life from good to great. When he gets to France, he discovers he has not one but three near-impossible tasks before him. He also discovers a dark and shameful episode from his grandfather's past, something Adam is supposed to make amends for. But how can he do that when he barely speaks the language and his tasks become more and more dangerous? Despite the odds, Adam finds a way to fulfill his grandfather's wishes and, in the process, become worthy of bearing his name.

Where there is a beginning there is always an end. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End..." says the Lord (Bible, Revelation 21:6). "...for Allah is the Beginning and the End" (Qu'ran, Surah 53.25). If there is an end, is there an escape as well? Take a glimpse of how the mysteries of our reality can be unraveled for our own escape of the ending by merely arranging together the earliest beliefs, our traditional faiths, the allegorical myths and legends, the contemporary scientific knowledge and the mutual views of the modern generation. Can God handle the 21st century? Yet, can we handle God for the 21st century? Beginning: Does God exist or not? Or: Is God overrated or underrated? Middle: How will God react if mankind will eliminate this crazy little thing called "sin" through science, and in so doing, disapprove the need for God to drown and burn men of the past and of the near future? Ending: Are the Armageddon and the "transformation" the only remaining unfulfilled prophecies? If yes, what is the controversial "666" all about then? Escape: Does the "Judgment Day" merely connote a "Decision Day"? Journey: Does the wheel-of-life [creation and destruction, beginning and end, birth and death, etc.] have something to do with the universe-energy management or entertainment that we ourselves devised and will soon wake up from?

The author reveals the planet chained with a gold chain symbol of wealth and corruption, together with the power of sin and death through the Devil's deceit, and the Lords provision for our redemption.
