Archeologist and agnostic Randall Bullock has come to Israel to try and resurrect his crumbling career and shattered life. Teaming up with Miri Sharon, a beautiful representative of Israeli Antiques Authority, the two unearth a stone casket marked “Joseph, son of Caiaphas,” which contains several fragile scrolls that document the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This discovery launches Miri and Randall, along with his estranged nineteen-year-old daughter, Tracy, into a race to validate the monumental find, no matter what the Israeli authorities, media circus, and archaeological rivals want the world to believe.

Forced to face the power of this historical resurrection, Randall must also struggle with his own beliefs — or lack of them — while trying to keep the consequences of their discovery from taking a disastrous turn. Through all the danger and struggle, Randall discovers how easy — and deadly — it is to ignore the evidence and reject the true story of Christ.
