Η ιστορία μας ταξιδεύει στη Ρωμαϊκή Αίγυπτο, τον 4ο αιώνα μ.Χ., όπου η αστρολόγος-φιλόσοφος Υπατία της Αλεξάνδρειας μάχεται για να σώσει τη συγκεντρωμένη σοφία του αρχαίου κόσμου. Η μειοψηφία του Χριστιανικού πληθυσμού υποκινεί τη βία στους δρόμους της Αλεξάνδρειας, με αποτέλεσμα το ξέσπασμα ενός εμφυλίου πολέμου τεραστίων διαστάσεων. Ο σκλάβος της Υπατίας, Δάος, είναι διχασμένος ανάμεσα στην αγάπη για την αφέντρα του και στην πιθανότητα να αποκτήσει την ελευθερία του, με την έλευση του Χριστιανισμού.
