When an ancient artifact with no apparent monetary value is stolen from Brigham Young University's campus, Associate Dean of Religion Emma Worthington and Iraq war veteran Steve Call are flung into a race, against those who want to hurt the Mormon Church, to find and protect a long-ago submerged secret. The artifact contains four strange symbols. Using a parable handed down by Prophets Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, Emma and Steve travel across the United States to follow the trail of clues left behind. With professional killers shadowing their every move, Emma's church history knowledge and Steve's military skills are fully tested in the ultimate race of good versus evil.
