Description

The year is 2012, a century after the Titanic disaster. Yet another, far greater tragedy looms, one that threatens the American way of life. America's individual freedoms and traditional values are under fierce attack by its Marxist government, and Christianity is scorned by the nation's elitist universities. Even the University of Notre Dame has severed its ties to the Vatican in the name of academic freedom, privately and publicly disdaining its critics. Josh Allen, a New England transplant to Notre Dame, is determined to do something about the moral decay affecting the beloved school. Along with his spirited girlfriend, Shelby, Josh rallies a small band of students and alumni to help restore the Catholic mission and traditions of the storied university. They hope to use the one hundredth birthday celebration of Gerry Finn, Notre Dame's oldest graduate-and an astonishing revelation about his past-to arrest the school's slide into secularism. A football game between the once-mighty Irish and its "little brother," Stonehill College of New England, becomes the venue for a memorable showdown, one that might very well determine the fate of Notre Dame-and America.
