Synopsis
Priest John Daniels' journey through post-nuclear Italy continues as he must now travel to Florence, where the Sons of Wrath have settled. His main goal is to return to Rome, which seems to have been taken over by them as well. The Sons of Wrath, in turn, want to take the priest to Rome themselves - to kill him there. Daniels doesn't know if he has kept his faith after all the horrors he has seen, but it seems that the worst has yet to come.
