The arrest of the Templars in Europe changes the status quo, and the Templars on the island bury some of their possessions, drawing maps with their exact location. Seven hundred years later, one such map resurfaces in Covent Garden and a treasure hunt begins. Cyprus 2013. The banks raid their clients’ deposits in the ‘bail-in’.
