A small group of rogue angels come together in an attempt to create an army of Nephilim children. Each angel must choose a gender before they can procreate. Naturally, the angels pick male because it is easier. One angel, Asarte, cannot make the choice. Humans had gender-committed her centuries ago to female form. As such, Asarte must carry her child as a human woman would.
These children, called Nephilim on earth, Dark Lovelies in Heaven and Hell, have powers slightly less than angels. Asarte's child is different, more powerful, more dangerous. When Asarte realizes that her child is in danger, she hides the baby in the human world and attempts to kill herself to prevent being forced to give up any information to the infant's location. The beings of Heaven and Hell, led by Sophia and Lucifer, hunt the powerful child.
On earth, a young woman, Shelby, struggles with her identity, and the birthmarks she cannot explain. Her shelter within the congregation of a small church becomes threatened when a new member, Jack, joins the congregation. He awakens feelings and sensations she has never experienced before. When Jack begins unlocking the secrets to her past, and Shelby discovers she carries a child, her world begins to spiral out of control.
Sophia attempts to maintain the balance between Heaven, Hell, and earth by doing the only thing Shelby's free-will allows Sophia to do. The ramifications of Sophia's attempt to maintain control changes everything.
