Aprašymas

A routine laboratory task becomes an action-packed thriller of kidnapping, theft and spiritual warfare. DNA expert, DOCTOR GARY CARTER, endangers his life as well as his wife's, CELESTE, when he travels to Israel to verify the authenticity of a cross. His decisions cost him more than he can afford; his only solution requires help from a source he has selfishly abandoned. Carter quickly becomes a religious phenomenon as his charismatic, scientific jargon about the DNA of Christ mesmerizes audiences across America. He hypothesizes that if Christ's blood could be evaluated, the strand of the double helix would be unique, free from the normal abnormalities and mutations known to mankind. The discoverer of this ancient cross purports it to be the cross on which Christ died. This calls into question the centuries old assertion by the Catholic Church that they already possess the cross of Christ. This new preposterous claim gets the attention of vying factions who monitor Carter's activities. Leaks of his mission draw unwanted attention: two televangelists desire the cross as another gimmick to shore up their ratings--and purses. The underworld springs into action in an unexpected twist of which Carter has little insight to handle. He becomes enmeshed in their schemes as they stoop to low degrees to obtain the cross. His wife is kidnapped and held hostage while her captors use her as bait to obtain the cross. As he searches frantically for her, he is hounded by a sense of spiritual inadequacy that keeps nipping at his heels. Like a dagger to the heart, he realizes his selfishness has endangered his wife's life. Her fate rests upon his actions, but like Jonah, he feels spewed out of God's favor. In desperation, he devises a plan to save Celeste, but with the gnawing anxiety he might be too late?
