When time travelers Aria and Liam arrive in Rome, they learn about a plot to kill Julius Caesar. They know that if he dies, the Roman Republic will fall into ruin, and they are the only ones who can stop it.
With the help of their allies, Gaia and Titus, Aria and Liam begin searching for the culprit. But nothing about ancient Rome feels right to them: power struggles are constant, political alliances change without warning, and the city's values clash with everything they believe in. Even Aria, who knows Roman history by heart, soon realizes that living it is far harsher than reading about it.
The mission becomes even more difficult when the group is separated, and survival takes priority. Fighting to stay alive leaves Aria and Liam with no time to uncover the truth, and every delay brings the plot closer to success. If they fail, Rome will fall under the control of a ruthless ruler, and Aria and Liam will be forced to live under his rule, unable to return to their own time. Can Aria and Liam stop the plot and change the course of history before it's too late?
