The prophecy of a worldwide spiritual awakening gradually begins to
come into focus in director Armand Mastroianni and screenwriters James
Redfield, Barnet Bain, and Dan Gordon's sweeping adaptation of James
Redfield's best-selling novel. John Woodson (Matthew Settle) was a
high-school history teacher before the loss of his job left him
disillusioned and facing an uncertain future. When John is contacted by
ex-girlfriend and journalist Charlene (Robyn Cohen), who is currently
in town on a brief layover after covering a story in Peru, the pair
arrange to meet for dinner and Charlene explains that she has just
returned from a remote Eden known as Viciente, where scholars are
currently studying a mysterious set of eight ancient scrolls. It was
there, continues Charlene, that she came into contact with a priest
named Father Jose, who explained to her that the scrolls contain a
prophesy written before the birth of Christ and foretell a coming time
of enlightenment that will redefine life in the 21st century. Though at
first skeptical, John is compelled to book a flight to Peru when
Charlene states that she appears to have been drawn to him by a higher
power, and a travel brochure on Peru appears in his mailbox the
following day. A subsequent encounter with a professor who is also on
John's flight and has been studying the scrolls reveals that the
scrolls were written in 5 or 6 B.C. and buried in a wooden box that was
assembled in the 1600s. Though there was, according to legend, a ninth
scroll, it has yet to be recovered. A late-night stroll on the streets
of Lima soon leads John into the company of Father Jose, who later
disappears after a frightening encounter in which a high-ranking
operative holds the priest at gunpoint while insisting that he reveal
the location of the lost scroll. Later led to Viciente by the guide who
was with Father Jose when the cleric discovered the scrolls, John is
haunted by dreams of a remote paradise and a young child, setting into
motion a spectacular series of events that will ultimately culminate in
a transformation of light that promises to reveal the future of
humanity.
