Jew­ish tra­di­tion states that before God deliv­ered the Torah to the Israelites through Moses’ hand, a celes­tial Torah was writ­ten in Black Fire on White Fire. Pre­ced­ing Cre­ation itself, this mas­ter scroll was God’s blue­print for the uni­verse. The fab­ric of exis­tence was woven from its very let­ters.

The trans­fer­ence of such divine pow­er to man comes at a dan­ger­ous price when an embit­tered Moses has a con­fronta­tion with the angry grand­son of Korah, the most for­mi­da­ble of the van­quished rebel lead­ers to chal­lenge his author­i­ty. Reluc­tant­ly on his way to meet the Angel of Death on the slopes of Mount Nebo, Moses is car­ry­ing a mys­te­ri­ous scroll and a glow­ing object vague­ly con­cealed under a plain cloth. Upon reach­ing a rough under­stand­ing with the young man, Moses presents him with a mys­ti­cal rel­ic orig­i­nat­ing from Cre­ation – Black Fire.

If the White Fire parch­ment of the Torah mas­ter scroll can be marked by Black Fire, time and space may be rewrit­ten by man’s hand.

Over three thou­sand years lat­er, the descen­dants of Moses’ bib­li­cal ene­mies and a bil­lion­aire antiq­ui­ties deal­er dis­cov­er the cur­rent loca­tion of the rel­ic, set­ting off a bru­tal com­pe­ti­tion to pos­sess Black Fire and pos­si­bly reshape mankind’s future. With eter­nal peace or apoc­a­lyp­tic destruc­tion hang­ing in the bal­ance, no mer­cy exists for those who would stand in the place of God.
