The ad read: 

ISO like-minded people. Do you like spirited debates? Maybe a debate about spirits- both the liquid type and the invisible sort? Nothing is off the table at the weekly meetings of The Church of Questions.

The Church of Questions is not affiliated with any organized religion. We do not sermonize or proselytize or baptize. There are no entrance fees or donations required. Simply attend a meeting- you will find lively discussion, and perhaps a friend or two.

Eddie Earl Brown is in a rut and she knows it, so when she spots the ad in the personals, she's intrigued.

After all, who couldn't use more friends? Especially since she's only got two, and that includes her dog Brantley, who isn't much of a conversationalist.

Eddie Earl and Brantley attend a meeting of the Church of Questions. To her surprise, the leader of the group is none other than her best friend since childhood.

Antonio Burnes, or Ant, as he likes to be called, immediately brings her into the fold, so to speak, and as the (non)church becomes wildly popular, Eddie Earl discovers the life - and the friendships - she's always wanted.

But when things seem too good to be true, they usually are.

The bigger the church gets, the more Ant seems to change.

And when Ant announces he is the Messiah, cracks quickly appear in the thin veneer of her perfect world.

On top of that, she's been having crazy dreams about a bug. The white ant invading her sleep keeps demanding two things of her: believe in him, and put an end to the Church of Questions.

Either she's losing her mind, or she's involved in something of biblical proportions.
