In the bustling streets of 1st-century Jerusalem, Pericope longs for a life beyond the circumstances that have trapped her. Each evening, she gazes toward the magnificent Holy Temple, dreaming of freedom, redemption, and a future she fears she will never have. Yet guilt shadows her every thought. She knows what society calls her. She knows what the Law demands.
She is an adultress.
When her life collides with history's most influential figure, everything changes.
