Plot

Act I: Introduction and Conflict Setup
Luis Arias is a young journalist and researcher driven to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of his brother-in-law, Manuel. During his investigation, Luis discovers that Manuel's death is connected to the Book of Gold, an ancient manuscript containing powerful Kabbalistic secrets that can change the course of history.

Luis and his cousin Manuel find the book in a Dominican convent in Seville.

Act II: Development of the Conflict
Luis is taken to the Santo Domingo convent, where Fray Domingo de Baltanás, a mystical friar, reveals the secrets of the book and urges him to travel to the past to find Antonio Arias, his ancestor, who can help decipher the book's secrets.

In the past, Luis joins the White Lodge, a group formed by loyal friars, Antonio Arias's family, and the German sage Jakob Böhme. Together, they attempt to protect the book from the conflict between two noble families, the Guzmanes and the Ponces, who fight for control of the book. Luis discovers that his ancestors have been protecting the book for generations and learns about the importance of using knowledge responsibly.

Act III: Climax and Resolution
The climax unfolds in a parallel battle between good and evil in both eras. In the past, Jakob Böhme recovers the book amid the chaos of battle, and the White Lodge decides to close the temporal portal to prevent further conflicts.
