The incredible two part story beginning with the journey of "The Three Marys"- Mary Magdalene, Mary Cleopas, and Mary Salome- and their group of believers in a rudderless boat with no sails as they are cast adrift in the Mediterranean Sea after being exiled from Judea by enemies of Christ after his crucifixion. They survive to land on the coast of France and begin to spread the word of Christ in its most basic form.
Part Two, traces the legends that have sprung up all over Southern France- legends that Mary brought with her The Holy Grail, stories of the Cathars- a large group of followers that made their home and fortress in the foothills of the Pyrenees, rejected Catholicism, and were nearly wiped out by Catholic forces bent upon their destruction, the story of Otto Rahm, the Nazi archeologist who combed the Cathar ruins for the Holy Grail, and the stories of the other exiled passengers on that boat, including Lazarus, Mary Salome, Mary Cleopas, Sidonius, Joseph of Aramathia, and Maximinus- all who would preach the gospel of Jesus to the pagan worshippers that lived under the shadow of Roman occupation.
