Adam Grant would appear to have everything a man could wish for and yet, within the opulent lifestyle he has striven to achieve over the years there are forces at work reminding him of a time when the world was a harsher, less forgiving place. A gifted architect with a passion for recreating monuments from antiquity, he begins to search for his true identity. As his past calls to him with a voice that cannot be denied and he seeks to embrace it and learn the truth, inevitably, his wife, the lovely Tyra, becomes drawn into the mystery. In a desperate bid to understand his torment and discover if, as she suspects, they were both known to one another in a different time, Tyra must trust the intuition of their mutual friend, spiritualist and regression therapist and embark upon a painful and emotional journey 2,000 years into the past, to the glory that was 1st century Rome. As a woman of the aristocracy whose father has high political aspirations regardless of the misery and destruction he leaves in his wake, she falls irretrievably in love with Rome's new champion gladiator under the most bizarre yet beautiful circumstances but their class differences and the pain and suffering of others that brought them together also threaten to tear them apart. When their secrecy is compromised and they must face up to an existence of heartache and loneliness without the one they love, the hopelessness and despair of their situation forces them into making a horrific decision where they vow to meet again in the afterlife. For the last time she must witness the bloody spectacle of the gladiatorial games and, ultimately, the execution by her father of the man she would, one day in the far-distant future, take as her husband.
