For god and country--or simply for god?--The United States is holding an
election whose results will determine how it wages the war on terror.
With the Presidency seeming certain to go to the challenger, control of
the country may come down to a single Senate seat and a hotly contested
race in the "Buckle of the Bible Belt": Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In Tulsa, recovering methamphetamine addict Seth Stevens is trying to
hold his fragile life together. He attends church faithfully, plays in a
Christian rock band, and wonders if he's falling in love with the
pastor's niece. But his decision to campaign for the church-supported
candidate has unexpected consequences. He soon finds himself forced to
answer an age-old question: what do you do when following your faith
means breaking the law?
As good intentions lead to dirty tricks--and a frightening revelation of
one group's terrifying plan to take over the country--Seth learns that
the Heartland isn't so far from the halls of power. Both far-fetched and
frighteningly familiar, One Nation, Under God serves as a gripping
reminder that religious extremists don't fight only in foreign lands.
