One hot spring day in the sprawling metropolis of Jerusalem, a young rabbi has been tried and sentenced to death by the Roman government for daring to revolt against Caesar’s unjust rule over the people of Judea.

His followers are heartbroken from the dawn of their leader’s brutal fate, but none more than the one who turned him into the Romans in the first place... Judas Iscariot. Haunted by his guilt, Judas relives each step of his journey alongside his teacher through angelic visions of the past. From the time of their first meeting to the night of his betrayal, our story follows the two men tangling further into each other on a march towards their own dooms, for so it is written.
