Reid Carter reveals how a failed Mormon author and serial bride transformed into divine killers. Chad Daybell, struggling writer turned doomsday prophet, meets Lori Vallow, mother of five marriages seeking spiritual meaning. Their 2018 encounter spawns a twisted theology: they're gods chosen for the apocalypse, with power to identify "zombies" - people whose souls need liberating through death. As Chad rates family members' spiritual darkness and Lori brands her own children as possessed, their religious delusion creates the perfect justification for murder. When husband Charles Vallow desperately warns police his wife believes she's a goddess, he unknowingly signs his death warrant. Love, money, and apocalyptic madness collide.
