Martin, from Lampasas, Texas, as he searches for the manuscript claimed long ago to have been seen by Nicholas Notovitch at the Hemis monastery, near Tibet. The film represents a cinematic quest for Jesus' missing years. Experts, one of whom is the Dalai Lama, representing a variety of religious and scholarly viewpoints provide appropriate commentary. The viewers visit the tomb in Srinagar, Kashmir, where Jesus was buried, according to the Ahmadiyya Islamic sect.."
