36 Righteous people, the future of humanity... New York 2034. When inspectors James Manning and Covina "Dewey" Duvet take on the case of a series of murders, their investigations lead them from the headquarters of the Russian mafia in Brooklyn Beach to the suffocating maze of shops in "Little Hong Kong." However, when they arrest a woman – a highly educated rabbi who has fallen out of favor – as she is leaving the scene of a crime, they come face to face with the shocking truth: the Jewish myth of the 36 Righteous, who protect the planet from destruction, is not a myth at all. The Righteous exist and are being murdered. As the bodies pile up and the world sinks deeper into chaos, Manning and Dewey must protect the last of the Righteous from a ruthless killer, capable of seducing his victims and manipulating them against their will. Caught in a game of cat and mouse, they find that their bullets and knives have no power against an enemy who knows their every move. Joining forces with the rabbi and a famous anthropologist, Manning and Dewey embark on a dangerous mission from New York to the Gehenna of Israel, to confront a killer who will not stop until he has killed all 36.
