In the remote Syrian desert, an accidental discovery of ancient texts could rewrite the origins of Christianity and challenge everything we know about faith and history.
Dr. Mira Lawson, an expert in ancient languages and a once-devout scholar whose faith faded over years of academic rigor, is brought in to translate the ruins. She and her wife, Jo, a journalist and photographer, journey into a world that will test their understanding of truth, history, and themselves.
As Mira begins translating the manuscripts, she uncovers stories that reframe familiar miracles not as supernatural phenomena but as powerful acts of human compassion…all centering on a woman named Miriam. Mira’s translations challenge established religious doctrines, while Jo finds her own voice of resilience strengthened in the face of the resistance they encounter.
The revelations carry a profound message that could destabilize long-held religious beliefs, especially amid a backdrop of increasing authoritarianism and Christian nationalism. Political and religious forces resist the couple’s work, determined to suppress the truths they uncover. As Mira and Jo face these growing obstacles, they also confront the personal impact of the manuscripts within their lives: Jo, speaking the truth on behalf of those who have been silenced, and Mira, who finds her lost faith quietly reignited by the depth and humanity of the story before her.
Some will resist the truth. Others will be transformed by it.
