After participating in the crucifixion of a charismatic preacher, this skeptical warrior finds himself caught up in a series of supernatural events. When word spreads that the body of the crucified man has disappeared, Clavius is assigned by Pontius Pilate to investigate the mystery and silence rumors about the resurrection.

Over time, Clavius’s journey leads him to confront not only his past but also his heart, as he finds himself in search of a truth that challenges his deepest instincts. His personal evolution and quest for meaning amid chaos lead to a surprising conclusion that marks a turning point in his life.
