Nel Museo del Louvre ha avuto luogo uno spettacolare omicidio e tutti gli indizi fanno pensare ad una setta religiosa che non si ferma davanti a niente pur di difendere una verità, la quale però non può essere nascosta ancora a lungo e il mistero rischia di essere decodificato. Per proteggere un segreto a volte basta chiedere a chi lo custodisce di non rivelarlo; tuttavia se può far crollare 2'000 anni di dogmi consolidati, bisogna mettere a tacere i suoi depositari, costasse anche la loro vita.
