Ende der 70er Jahre flog er wöchentlich bis zu 1,5 Tonnen Kokain in die USA - über Mena, Arkansas.

One such American is Ron Patterson, who finds himself on distant shores, working as a repairman and sharing a room with other refugees.

A dying millionaire hires historian Cameron Thorne to help raise what he claims is a Roman-era ship wrecked off the coast of Massachusetts' Plum Island. Roman coins and artifacts scattered around New England and the Ohio River Valley appear to confirm legends of early Romans crossing the Atlantic.

An elderly recluse informs historian Cameron Thorne that he has discovered the secret at the core of Freemasonry. The next day, he is killed. Thorne quickly focuses on a mysterious stone tablet, given to Moses by God along with the Ten Commandments, purportedly passed down to the Freemasons by the medieval Knights Templar.

Religious fanatics inform historian Cameron Thorne that a medieval stone tower in Newport, Rhode Island is a secret portal—built by the Knights Templar—through which the Antichrist will appear. A group of Native Americans share this belief, claiming that the shape of Turtle Island, their name for North America, was revealed to them by ancient aliens passing through this same portal centuries ago. It all seems utterly ridiculous, until Cam's teenage daughter Astarte is kidnapped and dragged into an occult ritual designed to bring about the Apocalypse.

Historians Cameron Thorne and Amanda Spencer-Gunn discover a fourteenth-century journal which confirms a long-rumored historical heresy: The medieval Church outlawed the Knights Templar because the warrior monks were secretly worshiping the ancient Goddess.

Fact: In the 1980s, a Vatican archbishop and rogue group of Freemasons were implicated in the murder of Pope John Paul I. A decade later, that same cleric illicitly acquired an ancient Templar scroll directly undermining fundamental Church teachings.

Can Cam and Amanda escape a similar fate?

While rooting around in the mysterious stone chambers of New England, historian Cameron Thorne and his fiancée Amanda Spencer-Gunn stumble upon a reinterpretation of the Biblical passage calling on Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.

Not that a rogue faction of puppeteering Freemasons gives a damn what Cam and Amanda want.

Are these three historical oddities the reason the CIA is trying to brainwash historian Cameron Thorne and his fiancee Amanda Spencer-Gunn?

What is this strange white powder? And is it the key to understanding the true power of both Moses and the sacred Ark of the Covenant?
