Een nachtmis in de Dom van Keulen ontaardt in een bloedbad. De daders verdwijnen spoorloos met hun buit: het relikwie van de bijbelse Wijzen uit het Oosten. De getuigenis van de enige overlevende veroorzaakt opschudding in het Vaticaan. Een kardinaal verzoekt de Romeinse agente Rachel Verona een discreet onderzoek in te stellen. Ook doet hij een beroep op Sigma - een geheime Amerikaanse elite-eenheid. Sigma stuurt een team wetenschappers en militairen onder leiding van Grayson Pierce om de getuigenverklaring te verifiëren. De daders behoren tot een mystieke, geheime broederschap van alchemisten en moordenaars, die de relieken willen gebruiken om de wereld diepgaand te veranderen. Het zijn fanatici die zich door niets en niemand laten tegenhouden. Pierce en Verona worden zowel jager als prooi en moeten alle zeilen bijzetten om te overleven. Het spoor leidt naar een historische locatie waar wetenschap en religie samenkomen...

The lingering question remains: "Will the past be enough to save the future?"
