Edmond Krish has recently gained enormous popularity. Largely due to inventions that have made life easier for ordinary people. They are in great demand, so the inventor made a lot of money, which allowed him to improve his own creations.

The billionaire spent most of his capital to find answers to two important questions for all mankind: where do we come from and where are we going. Having researched this topic, the Spaniard managed to find the answers. Overjoyed, Edmond decides to share his results with others. The Guggenheim Museum was chosen as the venue for the presentation.

Few people received an invitation to the researcher’s presentation. Among those «worthy» was Robert Langdon. It was Langdon who was one of Kirsch’s lecturers when he studied at Harvard.

When the day X came and all the invitees gathered in Bilbao, the researcher turned on the recording of Robert’s lecture. Kirsch planned to open the museum and continue, but he is killed by one of the guests.
