In 2019 an entertainment company named OPHIS (Greek for serpent) starts whats known as the "J2 Project", a plan to resurrect Jesus Christ. A clone of Jesus Christ is made with DNA from the Shroud of Turin. The young jesus is raised on an island with his entire life dictated and televised and viewed by nearly the entire world.
