Plot edit
Dr. Jon Bondurant is a forensic anthropologist and atheist. When the Vatican invites him to lead an investigation into the authenticity of the purported burial cloth of Jesus Christ, he agrees. After a contentious debate, the Vatican allows the examination of one of the sacred relics in order to spite the skeptical Bondurant.
While in the Vatican, Bondurant meets Domenika Josef, a devout Catholic and the Vatican’s media specialist assigned to keep an eye on him. She’s privy to a recently discovered ancient codex with revelations concerning the shroud. However, she is unknowingly part of a plan by forces intent on stealing DNA on the shroud. The consequences of the resulting attempt to clone Jesus is the subject of the sequel.
