Set during the final days of the Second Temple period, the film chronicles the events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. As the Roman Empire tightens its grip on Judea, political infighting, religious extremism, and personal rivalries fracture the Jewish resistance from within. Through the perspectives of several historical figures, the story reveals how internal division proved as destructive as the Roman siege itself.
