Though Julia worries her husband suffers from a delusion, Nick is adamant the voice belongs to a woman from the 16th century-his soul mate from a previous life.

He discovers a religious order that has developed a method of extracting peoples souls, which they imprison in Paradise .

Over the centuries, theyve judged thousands of souls and sentenced them to eternal purgatory.
