Surviving the brutal existence of a galley slave, he rises against all odds, fueled by a burning desire for vengeance. As he climbs back to power, crossing paths with gladiators, charioteers, and mighty Roman rulers, his fate becomes entwined with that of a mysterious teacher whose message of forgiveness challenges everything he believes.
