In 1911, John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, the two wealthiest men in the world, embark on a quest to alter the destiny of humanity. Their journey begins with the discovery of ancient Egyptian scrolls, nearly 4, 000 years old, written by scribes for Pharaoh Sekhemib-Perenma. Two millennia later, as the Romans conquer Egypt, the scrolls are presented to Emperor Antoninus Pius. Translated into Latin, the Emperor becomes consumed by the secrets contained within the cryptic phrase: ‘Et reversus est ad mortem deos’ – ‘To Die and come back as gods.’Rockefeller and Carnegie finance the creation of a clandestine laboratory on Point Nemo, the most remote island in the Pacific Ocean. Over the years, the facility’s staff of elite researchers, scientists, and medical professionals toil tirelessly to unravel the mysteries of the ancient text.As decades pass, the various boards of directors overseeing the Point Nemo facility manipulate the process and exploit terminally ill patients and those with incurable disabilities as test subjects in their relentless pursuit of immortality.In the present day, best-selling author Peter Cordell finds himself grappling with writer’s block when he receives an enigmatic call from Mrs. Evelyn Rule. She invites him to Point Nemo and offers him a unique assignment: to write a historical novel commemorating the facility’s 100th anniversary.Despite a century of progress in extending human life by 50 to 100 years or more, the ultimate breakthrough remains elusive. The key to unlocking the secrets of immortality lies in the development of a miraculous formula known only as The Serum.
