Samenvatting:

In this dark, hilarious reinterpretation of The Book of Jonah, 19-year-old Judge knows better than to try to escape Christian terrorist group The Hand - the last guy who did was crucified out in the woods and left to die of hypothermia. Enlisted into the cell seven years ago by his zealous father, Judge has done just enough to keep the group thinking that he was into the whole 'God's wrath' thing, biding his time until he could make his escape. When an odd dream convinces the group's leader that Judge has been chosen to set off a nuclear warhead in the heart of a crowded city, the young man finally finds a way to escape from this violent group and their angry God.

With the bomb in his backpack, Judge stows away on a tour bus and ends up as a roadie for a bunch of drug-crazed, pervert rockstars. He thinks he has found a new life on the road, but when new friends try to turn him in to the FBI and old friends try to turn him into the harbinger of the apocalypse, Judge sets out on a journey to discover if he will ever be able to run far away enough to escape his past.

The Accidental Terrorist is a spiritual dark comedy for fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Flannery O'Connor, and blowing shit up.
