But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. Luke 11:20

When an archaeological dig in Jerusalem unearths an ancient scroll written by Saint Stephen along with a piece of mummified flesh, no one really understands the importance of the discovery.

Then Allison Reese, a scientist working on the discovery, is beaten into a coma in a Harvard laboratory and the relic is stolen. Her father, John Reese, vows to uncover the truth behind his daughter's attack. But the truth is layered in shrouds of secrecy that go as far as the Opus Dei, and he is not the only one hunting for answers. His search takes him to a remote island off the coast of Maine and the compound of a maniacal evangelist whose revelation based on the relic is bound to shock the entire world!
