William Miller's faith is in ruins. After miraculously surviving a fierce battle in the War of 1812, Miller questions why God spared him. He turns to his Bible for answers, looking for hope, and finds an astonishing prophecy-the world is going to end! He feels the burden to share this message. When he does, he is praised and scorned. But he is concerned about what happens if the end of the world doesn't happen at the time he thought.
Joshua Himes has a strong desire for change. He sees the selfish and cruel treatment that human beings often display toward one another. He longs for peace and hopes for a brighter future. When he hears William Miller's preaching about the soon advent of Jesus, he is immediately drawn to this message of hope, even at the cost of his finances and reputation.
Ellen Harmon is a young girl hearing William Miller preach, and his message resonates with her. She hopes for a world that is not filled with sickness and sorrow. Her preaching grows beyond prophecy and develops into a more wholistic vision of how Christians should live and worship.
