Then there's Paul.

He's John's best friend since practically before they were born, and the two are inseperable. But prison life will strain any relationship, and their's is no exception.

Also Michael.

A young and vibrant youth minister from Seattle, he is passionate about everything he does, from doing the dishes to dying for his faith. He is the organizing force behind The Remnant- a small group of Christian teens who are willing to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of tremendous persecution.

And don't forget Mary.

Could she be called John's girlfriend? Well, they're not 'official' but they might as well have been- at least until their entire world changed. Suddenly she has a lot more to worry about than how she looks in the morning, and she doesn't know if she's up to the challenge.
