A Secret that Can Change the World...

Just before disappearing from the monastery, Sister Margaret Thomas MacGwire leaves behind a golden reliquary, which her niece Marie discovers. "This is from the 13th disciple. Follow it to where it leads," reads a handwritten note that Marie finds among her sister's belongings. The note seems to be connected to the mystery of the supposed thirteenth disciple of Jesus. As Marie searches for her aunt's traces, she begins to realize that the reliquary contains a secret that could potentially change the history of Christianity and redefine the meaning of faith.
In her search, Marie is accompanied by Frank, a journalist eager to uncover the story; Lilith, an eccentric mother who knows more than she lets on; Gailan, a misanthrope with a dark past; and Jimmy, a nurse whose faith supports him even in the most difficult times. Together, they try to decipher the contents of the reliquary and understand its meaning. But are they truly ready to communicate the mysteries it holds? And are they genuinely willing to better understand themselves?
