In 1291, a young templar knight flees the fallen Holy Land setting out to sea with a mysterious chest entrusted to him by the Order's dying grand master.
The ship vanishes without a trace. In present-day Manhattan, 4 masked horsemen dressed like Templar Knights stage a bloody raid on the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the exhibition of Vatican treasures. Emerging with a strange geared device, they disappear into the night. The investigation that follows draws an archaeologist and an FBI agent into the dark, hidden history of the crusading knights--and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers..
