Legend says that after the scourging of Christ, Pontius Pilate ordered his lifetime portrait to be painted. And wherever this one authentic image is kept, its owner will be granted eternal life. British adventuress Kate Kenyon and the owner of a used bookstore in Zurich, Ethan Brand, find true pleasure in stealing works of art. Their latest target is a priceless ancient icon, rumored to have something to do with the Templars. But so far their forays have always ended in complete success. This time everything has changed: they have to escape from armed guards, because they encroached on the property of Julian Corbeau himself, a millionaire and criminal hiding from justice in Switzerland. Enraged, Corbo intends to return the painting at any cost and take revenge on the thieves.
