Among the Dead Sea Scrolls, we know of the War Scroll, which predicts a holy war between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness. Hava, who was raised among the Brothers at Qumran, was taught to believe that this war would come to pass. She just didn't expect it to happen in her lifetime.
Breaking the mundane asceticism at Qumran, a scientist from Alexandria arrives. She claims that the Sons of Darkness have come for her. Her discovery of a strange, dark liquid holds secrets to the universe - secrets that the Sons of Darkness will do anything to possess.
How can Hava hope to fight the darkness without understanding it? Now, more than priests and rabbis, Hava will need a scientist.
The war has begun.
