Those who know of their worlds darkest secret search for a divine truth which will allow them to leave the material realm. To escape the evil which consumes humanity, they seek a knowledge of the god who once turned his back on mankind and left them to their eternal destruction, a knowledge known as the gnosis.Twelve such men journey to Jerusalem in search of a man who is said to possess the gnosis. The Jews believe this man will be their messiah and lead them in a new holy war against Rome.
