Detective Jack Stone investigates a mysterious crime: a former employee of the Atlantis IT Corporation, who worked on translations of ancient manuscripts, was killed. The only clue is a tattoo in the shape of a revival rune on the alleged killer's arm. The policeman's assistants involuntarily turn out to be the antiquarian Moroni, a man whose knowledge of artifacts and mythology is as great as his desire to unravel all the secrets of the universe. The investigation puts Stone on the trail of two rival secret societies that have spread their agent networks around the world. In their service, everything is mystical rituals, secret knowledge, huge financial resources and the highest technologies. To get the key to solving the chain of crimes, the detective joins the dangerous Atlantis expedition to Antarctica, but soon realizes that the case he took on is much more risky than it might seem at first glance. And the bet in this game is the fate of humanity.
