Apocalypsis - die komplette dritte Staffel. Zwei parallele, fast identische Welten.

Gleichzeitig sucht Maria in Jerusalem mit unerwarteter Unterstützung nach der Büchse der Pandora. Ebenso wie ein dämonisches Kind namens Raymond. 2013: Der Collegeprofessor Peter Adam hat apokalyptische Visionen. Als seine Frau und seine kleine Tochter Maya bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben kommen, eröffnet ihm sein Bruder Nikolas, dass ihr Tod im Zusammenhang mit den Aktivitäten eines okkulten Ordens stehe.

Der Journalist Peter Adam erwacht im Kölner Dom - ohne Erinnerung daran, was in den letzten Tagen geschehen ist. Ringsum hebt sich der Boden, die Hölle tut sich auf, Menschen stehen in Flammen.

Die letzte Hoffnung der Welt liegt in der rätselhaften Tätowierung, die Peter Adams gesamten Körper bedeckt. Uralte Zeichen, die den Weg zu einem der größten Mysterien der Menschheitsgeschichte weisen. Dem Ursprung des Bösen.
