666

Religiøse fanatikere har i århundrer forsøkt å regne ut datoen for dommedag. I USA nekter en ekstremistisk sekt å vente lenger. De truer Bjørn Beltø til å oppspore originalmanuskriptet til Johannes’ åpenbaring, som inneholder oppskriften på Bibelens dommedag – jordens undergang. Bjørn Beltø er den eneste som forstår hva som er i ferd med å skje. I et intenst kappløp med tiden må han overbevise amerikansk etterretning om at frykten for dommedag ikke er en spinnvill konspirasjonsteori. Samtidig må han beskytte datteren Angelina fra mystiske forfølgere.
