A Roman officer falls for a captive Christian woman just as Nero blames her faith for burning Rome, and while martyrs are fed to the arena around them, his love pulls him toward the religion he once despised.

If thou desert my people, I am going to Rome to be crucified a second time.
Quo Vadis, Henryk Sienkiewicz
