Until the End of the World: The Children of Thunder, Pt 1

Being part of a society means that for the most part you follow its
rules, often without thinking about it at all. And those rules,
those strictures of what is right and wrong, good or bad, are
frequently dumb and sometimes awful—human societies are not
utopias, after all, they’re messy and loud and full of argument.
But some shared consensus on the boundaries of behavior is
necessary if people are going to live together in something
approximating peace. So what happens when a group of people give up
on the idea of right and wrong entirely, and surrender all their
free will and moral judgment into the hands of madman who thinks he
was born to save the world? Nothing good, that’s what. Join us for
part 1 of the story of Taylor Helzer, a narcissistic man who was
raised to think he had the "gift of revelation" and was destined to
be a prophet--and the impressionable people he gathered around him
to do his deadly bidding.
