After the Cross

At the newly excavated medieval library in Istanbul, Turkey, a discovery is made that is poised to rock Christendom to its very foundation—an ancient document which purports to reveal the location of Jesus’ cross. The explosive news is kept quiet at the behest of Vladimir Zarco, a Ukrainian billionaire whose illegal activities are threatened by the letter’s discovery. He hastily convenes a team of experts to discredit the manuscript’s authenticity, but when their analysis points to the document as being genuine, a bomb destroys the research center. Citing safety reasons as a pretext, Zarco orders the surviving researchers to leave. Two of the linguists, Drs. Mallory Windom and Colton Foster, however, have other ideas. Once bitter enemies, they decide to hunt for Christianity’s most prized relic on their own, even though mysterious forces seem bent on stopping them at all costs. Mallory and Colton’s search leads them to Sepphoris, Israel, where they soon discover the quest for the cross is not from without, but from within, testing their beliefs, their ethics, and their growing love for one another.
