Three different agendas drive suspicion and tension. After seeing the crime scene, Thomas is taken to St. Vitus run by his former mentor and friend ARCHBISHOP SCARLETTI pushed up the ranks with his diplomatic demeanor and dedication to his church. A strained reunion since Scarletti played a role in Thomas' punishment. Thomas, not wanting to relive hurtful memories sets a press conference to do his job and get out.
JIRI SEMECKA, a young and determined artist and one in a group of ?local radicals that protest the church, is picked up for the murder. During interrogation, he reveals a connection to Thomas. Jiri shows drawings he made referring to the lost gospels of Thomas the basis of Thomas' research that was hidden away, and his censor. These gospels, if revealed, would prove Mary Magdalene a disciple. therefor a founder of Christianity, creating turmoil for the Church.
Jiri reveals to Thomas a secret order of Gnostic Priests and that he has discovered the whereabouts of a surviving copy of the original papyrus hidden inside with the crown jewels in King Charles' Chamber, inside St. Vitus Cathedral. Entering requires SEVEN GOLD KEYS to open the door. Thomas embarks on a search with Jiri and Karina to find the keys.
During their quest, Karina finds herself all in unraveling the mystery with Thomas solidifying her unforgiveable lust for Thomas although he still vies to get his Priest's collar. Thomas struggles between what he thought was faith and what his heart felt was conviction for the truth no matter the power. He must fight and win to share that truth, so the world can think for themselves and find free will and not hold blind to the binds of religion.
Thomas soon realizes that the hunt for the serial killer and the keys are inexplicably linked. It's only through solving one that the truth for the other will come to light. He must actively work on both cases to find the scrolls no matter the cost.
