A young Dutch-American archaeologist returns to Java after World War II. He marries a young Indonesian childhood sweetheart, now herself studying archaeology. Together they work to reconstruct a temple in a mountain lake. It points to an ancient mystery. The search for an answer to this takes decades and is found to involve a legendary ancestor. Discovering his secret leads to the discovery of a lost cave, tomb for a mysterious couple found to have been buried 2000 years ago. The possible implications of the discovery require moving ahead cautiously. Finally, the use of scientific research helps solve this incredible discovery which then forces a reassessment of the history of Jesus. Overarching concerns of the national government call for a meeting of Christian and Islamic leaders, historians and linguists to discuss how to proceed. Afterwards Christians meet and discuss how to reveal this ancient secret to the Christian world.
