Bobby Earl, a desperate boy with psychopathic urges, sticks a gun to the head of mild-mannered college professor and fugitive Michael and kidnaps him. The police and FBI are on the lookout, but Michael's hidden past makes attention from the FBI the last thing he wants. His past hadn't been a problem until now but his predicament has drawn the attention of the one man in the state who would know him for who he really was. A successful rescue might mean death or imprisonment for Michael, but staying in a killer's clutches is certain doom unless Mary Beth - a sweet but damaged woman-child - can calm Bobby Earl. And time is running out. Hijacking, kidnapping, murder, and a twist of fate. What more could you ask for? "The Apostate" leaves you on the edge of your seat. Such intensity reads like a roller-coaster ride. Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for suspense.
