Modern Science. Ancient Mystery.

In a biogenetic laboratory in California, a scientist injects his own DNA into a test subject -- and discovers that human knowledge and memories can be absorbed on a molecular level.

In the Vatican in Rome, the Pope makes a crucial secret decision in the name of science and God -- to loan the human remains of Saint Peter for DNA research.

SAINT

For Dr. Andrew Shepard it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to revive the genetic code of a long-dead saint in a living human subject.

For the world's religious leaders, it is nothing short of a miracle, a chance to resurrect the memories of an apostle ... and hear first-hand the teachings of Jesus.

The experiment is successful. A miracle is reborn. Yet soon the mystery deepens. The resurrected Peter has escaped on a desperate journey to Rome. And an unknown assassin is stalking him.
