Milan, 1497: Leonardo da Vinci is completing his masterpiece, The Last Supper.

The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table, and shockingly, the apostles are portraits of well-known heretics - none of them depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus? The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes...
