Synopsis: In 1929, a young man from a well-to-do family has been institutionalized because he is convinced that he's the reincarnation of Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus. (What's more, he's able to prove it.) As his last best hope he is being treated by a Jungian therapist who is also a self-proclaimed agnostic. A classic clash of belief systems also becomes history's most intriguing detective story, and possibly its greatest love story.
