The cause is a mystery, and a cure remains stubbornly elusive. At Fermilab 5, west of Chicago, a team of physicists experiences a shocking result when an experiment appears to go rogue, defying all logic. Yet in trying to solve the conundrum, the team edges ever closer to uncovering the fundamental secrets of the universe. For the Church, the former is its salvation, the latter an existential threat.

Grappling with the human condition, the timeless themes of love and sacrifice, and the tensions that arise between science and faith, The Son of Man is a near-future mystery thriller building toward a shocking revelation.
