This is a story about two young men who saw something unbelievable, unimaginable. As the story develops they recognise the truths around them until it becomes harder to reject. What is the truth in a world where knowledge is passing the proverbial, where every day this knowledge questions our understanding of this world, going back and forth between the present day and the seventeenth century? It creates a number of spider webs of historical truths woven together to create another world we recognize but cannot accept.
